Optimal Timing of Post-Alteplase Brain Computed Tomography: Routine Twenty-Four-Hour Versus Extended Forty-Eight-Hour for Detecting Asymptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage
CT imaging at 48 h post-alteplase improves asICH detection compared with the 24-h scan, reducing missed cases without added radiation or resource burden. Multicenter validation is needed to confirm whether 48 h should replace the current standard.
