Comparison of True and Virtual Non-contrast Venous Attenuation Markers for Anemia Detection in Photon-Counting Detector CT Stroke Imaging
Background: Anemia is common among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and is associated with poorer outcomes, including higher mortality and less favorable recovery. CT-based blood attenuation measurements have been investigated as a noninvasive imaging marker of hemoglobin levels. Objectives: This study evaluat...
