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.

Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
