Radiologe. 2019 Jun 03;: Authors: Almiri W, Meyer L, Politi M, Papanagiotou P Abstract PURPOSE OF IMAGING: Imaging plays a major role in the diagnosiss, treatment indication, and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. RECENT STUDY RESULTS: Recent studies have proved the safety and effectiveness of thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy based on the individual combination of imaging and patients clinical information even beyond the classical time-windows. In these cases, magnetic resonance imaging and perfusion-imaging can provide additional and important information. STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS: Nevertheless, computed tomography with and without contrast media still represents the most available and fastest method to diagnose stroke.
