Was in a car wreck on 8/25/20 an the er did an ct scan an my primary says it showed that I have had 2 prior strokes. I was unaware of the strokes. Is there a way of knowing how long ago we had the strokes by the ct scan? My Dr. has put me on a medication for my cholesterol an to take a aspirin once a day. I'm going Tuesday to have a scan done on my arteries to see if I have any blockage.

It's unlikely that the date of the strokes could be decided. If the stroke was a bleed, it can subsequent become a haemorragic transformation and that would change the CT scan.
