Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using computed tomography (CT) attenuation values to differentiate hypodense brain lesions, specifically acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from asymmetric leukoaraiosis (LA) and old cerebral infarction (OCI).
Materials and methods This retrospective study included patients with indeterminate hypodense lesions identified via brain CT scans conducted between June 2019 and June 2021. All lesions were confirmed...
