Strokes are one of the global leading causes of physical or mental impairment and fatality,
classified into hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes. Ischemic strokes happen when a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vessel imaging in acute ischemic stroke is essential to
select patients with large-vessel occlusion for mechanical thrombectomy. Our aim was to …

The role of neuroimaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke has been gradually
increasing. The ultimate goal of stroke imaging is to make a streamlined imaging workflow …

Background: Clinical and radiological characteristics of middle cerebral artery (MCA)
infarction may differ according to the location of occlusion. Objectives: We investigated the …

Background and purpose To compare the accuracy and utility of contrast enhanced
magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)(CEMRA) to Time of Flight MRA (TOF MRA) during …

Decision making in the extended time windows for acute ischemic stroke can be a complex
and time-consuming process. The process of making the clinical decision to treat has been …

In patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy for intracranial large vessel occlusion,
the occluded site is sometimes distal to the site shown in the initial vascular imaging. We …

Background Time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories (TWIST) sequence
makes considerable progress in temporal and spatial resolution, which presents high …

Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of peri-thrombus
vascular hyperintensity sign (PVHS) on three-dimensional (3D) black-blood (BB) contrast …

Clinical trials on acute ischemic stroke have demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of
revascularization treatments within an appropriate time window after stroke onset …
