The treatment of acute ischemic stroke has undergone dramatic changes recently
subsequent to the demonstrated efficacy of intra-arterial (IA) device-based therapy in …

Brain imaging provides an objective basis for the clinical inferences that direct individual
patient management in the acute stroke setting. A brain CT or MRI scan is required for all …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to provide the first correlative
study of the hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) and gradient-echo MRI …

Posterior circulation strokes represent 20% of all acute ischemic strokes. Posterior
circulation stroke patients are misdiagnosed twice as often compared to those with anterior …

Posterior circulation ischaemic stroke (PCIS) is a disease of high mortality and morbidity.
They account for 20–25% of all ischaemic strokes. However, it is relatively under-researched …

Envisioning the future of stroke appears daunting considering the milestones already
achieved in stroke imaging. A historical perspective on the developments in stroke care …

Despite the advent and growing availability of magnetic resonance imaging, the imaging
modality of choice in the acute care of stroke patients in many institutions remains computed …

Background: Hyperintense vessels (HVs) on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) are
frequently observed in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The presence of HVs represents altered …

When a vascular disease is suspected, the focus is usually on morphologic features seen at
contrast material–enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CT). However …

Background and Purpose—The hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) is a well-
established marker of early ischemia on noncontrast computed tomography of the brain …
