Magnetic resonance imaging and ischaemic stroke.
Recent successes in the management of acute ischaemic stroke have emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Patients with a 'brain attack' are best managed as a medical emergency. Imaging is vital in identifying infarct as well as tissue at risk and is best done with ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging.
