Synopsis

Keywords: Blood Vessels, Stroke, Acute ischemic stroke,Multimodal Scan,Time Efficiency

Motivation: The matter of time efficiency for both CT and MRI remains a topic of ongoing debate.

Goal(s): To provide an objective comparison of time efficiency between CT multimodal and MRI multimodal scans in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the late time window.

Approach: Efficiency in terms of time was compared between AIS patients who underwent CT scans and those who underwent MRI scans.

Results: The evaluation time for the MRI multimodal scan was found to be shorter than that of CT. MRI scans were recommended for use during the night shift. Furthermore, more experienced technicians had shorter scanning times.

Impact: Implementing this approach can streamline the scanning procedure for radiology departments when dealing with acute stroke patients, aid in the training of technicians, and recommend a preference for MRI scans during nighttime shifts.
