Acute Stroke Imaging : Recent Updates

الملخص EN

Acute ischemic stroke imaging is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.

Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and yields essential information regarding tissue integrity, a factor that remains a key therapeutic determinant.

Given the widespread public health implications of stroke and central role of neuroimaging in overall management, acute stroke imaging remains a heavily debated, extensively researched, and rapidly evolving subject.

There has been recent debate in the scientific community due to divided opinions on the use of CT perfusion and access-related limitations of MRI.

In this paper we review and summarize recent updates relevant to acute stroke imaging and propose an imaging paradigm based on the recently available evidence.
