A CT scan immediately after a stroke is usually looking to see if the stroke caused any bleeding. ( a hemorrhagic stroke ) If the dye were given it might hide any trace of blood. There are protocols in place as to how to treat a stroke and if bleeding is seen it changes what is done to help the patient recover from the stroke.
