Imaging Characteristics CT MRI Availability in the acute setting (0–6 hours) ++ − Rapid image acquisition ++ + Lack of vulnerability to motion artifacts + − Accessibility for patients with monitors and/or ventilators ++ − Feasibility and safety for patients with metallic implants (pacemakers, implantable defibrillators) ++ − Lower cost + − Lack of ionizing radiation − ++ Renal toxicity associated with contrast administration + + Time for postprocessing angiography and perfusion imaging − − Sensitivity to lacunar and posterior fossa infarcts − ++ Differentiation between acute and chronic ischemia − ++ Ability to assess causes of ICH or SAH while in the scanner + + Detection of chronic hemorrhage including microbleeds − +
Note:—ICH indicates intracranial hemorrhage.
