Role of Computed Tomography in Evaluation of findings in Stroke Patients

Abstract

Study the role of computed tomography in evaluation cerebrovascular disease, where the total number of patients was 237 adult patients their age ranged from 19 up to 96 years, and male was 156 patients while the female 81 patients. Study was conducted in Aliaa Specialist Hospital in period from August 2018 to February 2020, where the machine was Toshiba CT scan, Avilion 64slice multi-detector. The results show that correlate between computed tomography appearance with age group were the appearance that revealed from computed tomography was 8 diseases were the diagnose hypodense area was dominant with 75 patients and the diagnose right basal ganglia with just three patients. Finally; the correlation between final diagnosis with the age group for all patients where the final diagnoses divided to 8 groups were the diagnose patients with hemorrhage was dominant with 86 patients than white matter ischemia with 49 patients while the diagnose Bilateral hypodense areas with the lowest number of patients with just 4 patients. The analysis of variance for all variables with patient's age were the p.value show that there is no significant difference between patients age with history, type of CVA, site, appearance and diagnose of computed tomography.
