The CT examination of patients suspected with stroke included non-contrast enhanced (NCE) sequential CT scans and contrast CT angiography (CTA) scans. The NCE CT scan was a two-part scan: scull-base and cerebral. Both scans were sequential and had the following parameters for the scull base region: 120 kV, 265 mAs, matrix 1024 × 1024, slice thickness 3 mm, collimation 20 × 0.6, rotation time 1 s, window width 90–190, window center 38, and for the cerebral region: 120 kV, 310 mAs, matrix 1024 × 1024, slice thickness 4.8 mm, collimation 24 × 1.2, rotation time 1 s, window width 80, window center 38. CT scanning was performed on a Siemens Sensation Open 40 CT scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) at the Neurology Clinic of University Medical Centre Ljubljana.
Sensation open 40 ct scanner
Manufactured by Siemens
Sourced in Germany
The Sensation Open 40 CT scanner is a diagnostic imaging device manufactured by Siemens. It is designed to capture high-quality, cross-sectional images of the body using computed tomography (CT) technology. The scanner features a large, open gantry that allows for easier patient access and a more comfortable experience during the scanning process.

Before radiotherapy, all patients underwent head and neck immobilization with thermoplastic masks (MedTec Inc., Orange City, IA, USA) and contrast-enhanced CT simulation. All CT scans were obtained on a Siemens Sensation Open 40-CT scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) using 3-mm slice spacing. Thereafter, all patients underwent plain simulated CT scans weekly for 5 consecutive weeks (i.e., at the completion of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 fractions). Thus, 6 sets of CT images (CT0, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, and CT5) were collected and observed.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
