MR Imaging Techniques for Acute Ischemic Stroke and Delayed Cerebral Ischemia Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Marco Colasurdo et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2024 May.

Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and its prevalence is expected to increase with global population aging and the burgeoning obesity epidemic. Clinical care for AIS has evolved during the past 3 decades, and it comprises of 3 major tenants: (1) timely recanalization of occluded vessels with intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy, (2) prompt initiation of antithrombotic agents to prevent stroke recurrences, and (3) poststroke supportive care and rehabilitation. In this article, we summarize commonly used MR sequences for AIS and DCI and highlight their clinical applications.

Keywords: Acute ischemic stroke; Advanced MR imaging; Delayed cerebral ischemia; Subarachnoid hemorrhage.
