Assessment of the Patient with Hyperacute Stroke: Imaging and Therapy1

James M. Provenzale, MD, Reza Jahan, MD, Thomas P. Naidich, MD and Allan J. Fox, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Box 3808, Durham, NC 27710-3808 (J.M.P.); Department of Radiology, University of California, Los Angeles (R.J.); Department of Radiology, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY (T.P.N.); and Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto, Sunnybrook & Women’s College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (A.J.F.). From the 2000 RSNA scientific assembly. Received April 3, 2002; revision requested June 6; revision received October 17; accepted December 10. Address correspondence to J.M.P.

Neuroimaging is an important part of the assessment of patients with hyperacute stroke. As new treatments that may reverse cerebral ischemia have been developed, the role of neuroimaging has changed from simply anatomic depiction of early infarction to identification, by means of physiologic (rather than simply anatomic) information, of regions that are at risk for infarction. The goal of such imaging techniques is to monitor successes and complications of recently developed treatments such as thrombolysis.
