ABSTRACT
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is widely used in the assessment of cardiothoracic disease and provides high-resolution images of the heart, great vessels, and lungs. A range of cardiothoracic conditions can precipitate stroke, including intracardiac thrombus, right-to-left shunts, and diseases of the thoracic aorta. Many of these conditions may be identified on non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated studies, but the advent of high temporal resolution ECG-gated MDCT provides superior anatomical delineation. Radiologists should be familiar with the pathogenesis and CT features of cardiothoracic conditions that can precipitate stroke as their early identification to enables appropriate management and prognostic decisions.
