Comparative Time Efficiency of CT and MRI Multimodal Imaging Protocols in Acute Ischemic Stroke Evaluation
MRI demonstrates greater efficiency in AIS evaluation during night shifts in municipal hospitals, leveraging its superior diagnostic capabilities and optimized time efficiency. Conversely, CT is better suited for rapid initial assessments during day shifts, particularly in high-risk scenarios. Aligning imaging protocols with the expertise of radiologic technologists and shift schedules can further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of stroke management. These findings may inform protocol optimization in craniocerebral emergency settings.
