The serial scans and case histories of 28 patients with cerebral infarction were reviewed.
The correlation of changing scan patterns with clinical course was a useful guide to prognosis. Scan area and density alone were of limited value.
It is recommended that a scanning be performed as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms as a baseline, 7 to 10 days later for diagnosis, and at 3 to 4 weeks for prognosis.
