Magnetic resonance imaging to visualize stroke and characterize stroke recovery: a review
The global burden of stroke continues to grow. Although stroke prevention strategies (eg. medications, diet and exercise) can contribute to risk reduction, options for acute interventions (eg. thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke) are limited to the

Comparison of Hemorrhage on CT Versus MRI After Thrombectomy: The HECATE Study
Background The characterization of hemorrhage following acute stroke intervention has largely been computed tomography (CT) based. We sought to compare magnetic resonance imaging‐ (MRI‐) and CT‐based scoring of hemorrhage after acute endovascular therapy

Stroke Severity Affects Timing: Time From Stroke Code Activation to Initial Imaging is Longer in Patients With Milder Strokes. [PDF]
Optimizing the time it takes to get a potential stroke patient to imaging is essential in a rapid stroke response. At our hospital, door-to-imaging time is comprised of 2 time periods: the time before a stroke is recognized, followed by the period after ...

Training emergency services’ dispatchers to recognise stroke: an interrupted time-series analysis [PDF]
Background: Stroke is a time-dependent medical emergency in which early presentation to specialist care reduces death and dependency. Up to 70% of all stroke patients obtain first medical contact from the Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Intermediate-Term Risk of Stroke Following Cardiac Procedures in a Nationally Representative Data Set. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Studies on stroke risk following cardiac procedures addressed only perioperative and long-term risk following limited higher-risk procedures, were poorly generalizable, and often failed to stratify by stroke type. We calculated stroke risk in
