Stroke and CT Scan - Stroke Message Board

Hi Everyone,

I like to know if stroke shows on CT scan of the head. If not, how can they determine if a person has experienced a mini-stroke.

Thanks

I would like to know this too, as my Dr. has me scheduled for ct soon.

Ali, i went and looked it up myself (this board is deserted) CAt scan can pick this up if it was bad enough but is only 50% accurate after 1 week. So my advice is to go to ER and tell them your symptoms if you have another one and CALL YOUR DR. right now and tell them whats going on. TIA's are nothing to mess with and there is treatment.
