This diagnostic test is generally the first to be administered after a patient with a suspected stroke arrives in the emergency room. It is used to quickly distinguish between an ischemic and a hemorrhagic stroke. In the test, a computer analyzes low-dose X-rays to produce detailed, two-dimensional cross sections of the brain.
