The brain vasculature has been increasingly recognized as a key player that directs brain
development, regulates homeostasis, and contributes to pathological processes. Following …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The importance of LMF in the outcome after acute
ischemic stroke is increasingly recognized, but imaging presents a wide range of options for …

Background and Purpose—Despite the abundance of emerging multimodal imaging
techniques in the field of stroke, there is a paucity of data demonstrating a strong correlation …

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 …

Background and Purpose: In acute stroke it is no longer sufficient to detect simply ischemia,
but also to try to evaluate reperfusion/recanalization status and predict eventual …

Collateral circulation plays an important role in the clinical and radiological outcome after
acute ischemic stroke. Several modalities are used to evaluate these alternative pathways …

Background: We compared ischemic findings on gradient echo-type T 2*-weighted images
at 3-tesla MRI (T 2* WI) in patients with acute ischemia and major vessel occlusion, and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Asymmetric hypointensity of cerebral veins on
susceptibility-weighted imaging has been shown to indirectly reflect tissue hypoxia after …

Background and purpose Susceptibility‐weighted imaging (SWI) is a high spatial resolution
technique that can indirectly demonstrate increased cerebral oxygen extraction. Our aim …

Acute ischemic stroke is now clearly recognized as a medical emergency. As such diagnosis
has to be done quickly and in a precise way during the therapeutic window. Both computed …
