CADTH
Record ID 32014000875
English
Authors' recommendations:
Diagnostic imaging with CT appears to be an appropriate method to support a diagnosis for stroke or TIA. No evidence was identified to determine whether a comprehensive clinical assessment of symptoms is sufficient to support a diagnosis of stroke or TIA. Better designed clinical diagnostic trials for CT are needed.
