title: Functional imaging in stroke.
abstract: Recent advances in magnetic resonance techniques make it possible to image physiological parameters such as molecular diffusion, tissue perfusion and cortical activation. These techniques greatly contribute to the early detection and to the understanding of the pathophysiological evolution and recovery from ischaemic stroke.
