MRI of stroke recovery.

چکیده
MRI is a vital tool for the measurement of acute stroke and has been used to visualize changes in activation patterns during stroke recovery. There is emerging interest on using MRI to monitor the structural substrates of spontaneous recovery and neurorestorative treatment of stroke. In this review, we describe the use of MRI and its associated challenges to measure vascular and neuronal remodeling in response to spontaneous and therapy-induced stroke recovery. We demonstrate that MRI methodologies may be used in real-time monitoring of recovery from stroke.

Silent stroke in patients with acute thrombotic stroke
Introduction: Brain stroke is the most common neurologic disorder and also the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in neurtologic patients. Thanks to new methods of radiography such as MRI, brain vascular lesions including silent stroke are demonstrated more carefully. This study considers the frequency of silent stroke in patients with acute thrombotic stroke in Rafsanjan by using M...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A noninvasive technique of visualizing the left atrial appendage (LAA) and its thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation would be of great interest. This study examined the utility of MRI for the assessment of thrombus in the LAA. METHODS We evaluated 50 subjects with nonrheumatic continuous atrial fibrillation and a history of cardioembolic stroke. Each patient rec...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging to Visualize Stroke and Characterize Stroke Recovery: A Review
The global burden of stroke continues to grow. Although stroke prevention strategies (e.g., medications, diet, and exercise) can contribute to risk reduction, options for acute interventions (e.g., thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke) are limited to the minority of patients. The remaining patients are often left with profound neurological disabilities that substantially impact quality of l...
