title: Comparative study of computed tomography (CT) and carotid angiography (CAG) in stroke patients.
abstract: The findings in CT and CAG were compared in 173 stroke patients to evaluate dependability in the localization of cerebral arterial occlusion and of infarction by CT, and to test the reliability of the angiographic and clinical diagnosis of a space-occupying lesion in patients diagnosed clinically as stroke cases.
