ABSTRACT
Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and effective treatment requires rapid diagnosis and recognition of relevant vascular lesions. In this review we will discuss the usefulness and versatility of computed tomography angiography in the setting of stroke, be it ischemic or hemorrhagic, minor or disabling. Furthermore, we also highlight how we use computed tomography angiography in decision making in transient ischemic attacks, acute disabling ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke.
