True enough, but MRI is not inherently too slow for this use. If the economics otherwise made sense, an acceptably fast throughput stroke protocol MR is quite doable.
- lostlogin 6y agoIt is. The requirements of the MR environment make it a lot more difficult than CT though. For example a tubed patient is harder to manage in MR than CT, and while this is done regularly it isn't as easily done as CT.
- ska 6y agoTrue, but the improved contrast would probably make it a no-brainer if the other issues were taken care of .
