This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When someone has a stroke caused by a blood clot in a large brain vessel, doctors need to quickly decide whether to perform an emergency procedure to remove the clot. This trial compares two different imaging approaches to help doctors make that decision: a simpler scan versus a more comprehensive scan with additional advanced imaging. The goal is to see if the simpler approach works just as well, which could speed up treatment.
Advanced imaging scans are very helpful for selecting the right stroke patients for emergency clot removal, but they can be time-consuming and aren't available everywhere. This trial tests whether a simpler, more widely available imaging approach can be equally effective, which could help more patients get faster access to this life-saving treatment.

If you qualify, you'll receive one of two standard imaging scan approaches to help doctors decide on your treatment — either a simpler scan or a more comprehensive scan with advanced imaging. The imaging process is part of your regular emergency stroke care and happens quickly in the hospital. You would then be followed up 90 days after your stroke to see how well you're recovering, which typically involves a clinic visit or phone assessment.
