Brief summary (registry, in English)
The DIRECT-CT trial is designed to test the hypothesis that remote controlled CT scanning combined with real time audio-and video conference (AVC) guided assessment from an experienced hospital stroke team (tele-stroke) at decentralized medical centers (DMC) reduces time to intravenous thrombolytic treatment compared to the standard pathway.
