Current state of acute stroke imaging.
A cute ischemic stroke is common and often treatable. Imaging by computed tomography (CT) and MRI is valuable for stroke treatment, in addition, for diagnosis, and for identification of the pathogenesis. But how they are used also depends on practical considerations. The approach to imaging the patient with acute stroke used at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is described. It is a dist...
متن کاملImaging The Acute Stroke
The role of imaging is increasingly critical in the evaluation of acute stroke. The head CT without contrast remains the most important initial examination, primarily for the detection of intracranial hemorrhage, but also as a screening tool to look for conditions that may mimic stroke clinically, such as neoplasm. CT can also potentially reveal an arterial occlusion immediately (as a hyperdens...
متن کاملImaging in Acute Stroke
Imaging in the acute setting of suspected stroke is an important topic to all emergency physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologist. When it comes to imaging, the American College of Radiology (ACR) continually updates its guidelines for imaging pathways through the ACR Appropriateness Criteria.1,2 This article is a general review of the imaging modalities currently used to ass...
متن کاملImaging of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: Over 80% of strokes result from ischemic damage to the brain due to an acute reduction in the blood supply. Around 25–35% of strokes present with large vessel occlusion, and the patients in this category often present with severe neurological deficits. Without early treatment, the prognosis is poor. Stroke imaging is critical for assessing the extent of tissue damage and for guiding...
