cDECT within 36 hours after EVT changes the radiologic report regarding posttreatment ICH in a considerable proportion of patients undergoing EVT compared to pCT alone. This could affect decision-making regarding monitoring, secondary prevention, and prognostication. The cDECT scan could improve the interpretation consistency of high-attenuating changes on post-EVT images.
