A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SENSITIVITY OF CT AND MRI IN STROKE PATIENTS

ABSTRACT

Controversy exists about the optimal imaging modality in patients with stroke. This work was carried out to optimally compare CT and MRI images in patients with stroke. ( A case study of  National Hospital, Abuja). A retrospective study of 54 stroke patients who underwent both CT scans and MRI scans at National Hospital, Abuja between January 2010 to March 2013 was conducted. Tables and T-test for hypothesis was used to analyse the data. CT is significantly more sensitive than MRI in the detection of acute hemorrhagic stroke (92% vs. 48%  p
