Current Concepts of Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke Magnetic Resonance and Clinical Cerebrovascular Disease An Update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been recognized for well over 40 years. Although the first successful in vivo NMR experiments date back to 1946-1948, it was not until the 1970s that the first experiments involving NMR spectroscopyand imagingof living systems were reported in the literature. Since that time the clinical application of NMR has experienced exponential growth. Because of this rapid pace of development and the concurrent increase in hospitalbased NMR facilities, it is timely to review the application of NMR to the diagnosis and investigation of cerebrovascular disease.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a known inherited hemoglobin disorder featured by the presence of sickle shaped erythrocytes in the blood. It can cause cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in adults and children and is responsible for the majority of the strokes in children. Repeated blood transfusion are often required in an attempt to dilute blood thus reducing the risk of vaso-occlusion and stroke in...

Background: C.V.A is an important health problem. Efforts to reduce the incidence of C.V.A are essential and such attempts should be based on the knowledge of risk factors. In this study C.V.A risk factors were evaluated. Materials and Methods: We used a case control method. The cases comprised of 146 patients admitted to stroke unit with acute stroke. The controls comprised of 147 particip...

MRI is becoming the imaging modality of choice in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease although CT is still the test of choice to exclude acute hemorrhagic stroke. We have briefly reviewed characteristic features of ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease as well as vascular anomalies as seen on MRI. In time MRS should provide useful noninvasive metabolic data to complement t...

Background: Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Various studies on the etiology of this disease are in progress. Some studies have suggested that opium abuse may is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to analyze the frequency of opium addiction and to compare cerebrovascular ultrasound patients’ changes to non-addicts. Me...

Patchy subcortical lesions are frequently identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in the elderly.On computed tomography (CT) these lesions appear as periventricular zones of lucency and have been termed "leuko-araiosis" by Hachinski and colleagues. Despite limited knowledge of the pathological correlates of the lesions, there has been speculation about their nature, pathophy...
