Abstract:
Acute stroke patients represent an important diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Patients with brain damage in the ischemic, but not yet infarcted, phase have the greatest potential for recovery. Here we review the most commonly employed diagnostic tools that are currently used before stroke therapy. While computed tomography is pertinent to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke, this technique cannot be used as an etiological screening too. The ischemic origin of symptoms can be confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging which also contributes to for therapeutic decision making, prognosis assessment and etiological screening.
