title: Cardioembolic origin in patients with embolic stroke: Spectrum of imaging findings on cardiac MDCT.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article is to show various cardiac MDCT findings of a cardioembolic origin in patients with embolic stroke.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cardiac MDCT is an emerging technique for the identification and assessment of a cardioembolic origin in patients with embolic stroke. In the near future, it will play an increasing role in the assessment of patients with a suspected embolic stroke.
