Assessment of Vessel Density on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography to Detect Basilar Artery Occlusion [PDF]
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020 Introduction: Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) may be clinically occult due to variable and non-specific symptomatology. We evaluated the qualitative and quantitative determination of a hyperdense basilar artery (HDBA) on non-contrast computed tomography ...
