[Computer tomography: selection criteria for thrombolytic treatment].
Emergency cranial computerized axial tomography (CAT) has a fundamental place in relation to the therapeutic options of neurologists dedicated to the thrombolytic treatment of cerebrovascular disease. This imaging technique may give important information regarding clinical evolution, subsequent tomographic findings and the final result of the evolution of these disorders. However, CAT has certain limitations concerning the reproducibility of the interpretation of the early signs of infarct, which nevertheless may be minimized by suitable training of the observers and establishment of a general consensus as to the criteria that should be used for this.
