Restricted access in the emergency department prevents MRI from being the workhorse for ischemic stroke care

We express our sincere gratitude to Wong et al. for their interest in our recent publication, “Is improved access to magnetic resonance imaging imperative for optimal ischemic stroke care?” [1]. We value the insights provided by the authors regarding the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the preferred imaging modality for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Additionally, we appre ciate their valuable contribution on the utilization of short-sequence head MRI in addition to computed tomography (CT) for AIS evaluation at their center, which provides further evidence for the use of MRI in this context.
