Abstract

Stroke, whether hemorrhagic or ischemic in nature, has the ability to lead to devastating and debilitating patient outcomes, which not only has direct implications from a healthcare standpoint, but its effects are longstanding and they impact the community as a whole. For decades, the goal of advancement and refinement in imaging modalities has been to develop the most precise, convenient, widely available and reproducible interpretable modality for the detection of stroke, not only in its hyperacute phase, but a method to be able to predict its evolution through the natural course of disease. Diagnosis is one of the most important initial roles, which imaging fulfills after the identification of existent pathology. However, imaging fulfills an even more important goal by using a combination of imaging modalities and their precise interpretation, which lends itself to understanding the mechanisms and pathophysiology of underlying disease, and therefore guides therapeutic decision-making in a patient-tailored fashion. This review explores the most commonly used brain imaging modalities, computer tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, with an aim to demonstrate their dynamic use in uncovering stroke mechanism, facilitating prognostication, and potentially guiding therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
