THE POSSIBILITIES OF COMPuTEd TOMOGRAPHY IN ASSESSING THE RISK OF STROKE

Abstract

Stroke occurs when the blood flow in the brain tissues decreases, causing morphological changes - microcirculation disturbances leading to a change in the density of the substance, which can be visualized using radiation diagnostic methods and based on the data obtained, to identify patients at high risk of stroke. The purpose of this study is to study density of brain stem structures in patients with different stroke outcomes compared to the control group. When analyzing these indicators, a correlation was found between changes in brain stem density and the likelihood of a stroke.
