Key Messages: No significant difference was found between the specific functionality of a brain region and cerebral blood...

... and have been proven to improve clinical outcomes. We have been fortunate to have observed and played a small part in the penumbral story from its beginnings in the 1970s to its pivotal position today. Over this period, we have witnessed penumbral imaging evolve from positron emission tomography through...

... impairment. Our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of LS is largely based on the meticulous postmortem work of C. Miller Fisher in the late 1960s, with scarce subsequent pathological analysis of the “lacunar hypothesis” and no reliable approaches for direct in vivo imaging of the small...

Ischemic white matter disease, limited to the deep white matter, may be biologically distinct from disease in other regions and may reflect a previously observed trend...

...-arrays. Studies on sensitivity and specificity of prehospital clinical diagnosis of ICH are contradictory [ 21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 ]. Therefore, brain imaging is the cornerstone for ICH diagnosis because haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke cannot be differentiated on clinical grounds alone. Brain...

Ultrasound measurements of carotid and aortic wall thickness are an accurate ‘noninvasive’ technique that permits correlation with clinical events. Magnetic resonance imaging...

...) with MRI as first-choice imaging modality. According to the responder analysis, favorable outcome was separately defined for mild (NIHSS <8; n = 51), moderate (NIHSS 8–14; n = 30) and severe (NIHSS >14; n = 31) stroke. Results: Eighty-three patients were treated with rtPA after MRI, and 29 after CT...

Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables associated with LOS. Results: Median LOS for non-stroke...
