title: Advances in imaging 2009.
abstract: Imaging remains a mainstay of stroke diagnosis and treatment. 2009 brought much that was new: increased scrutiny of the safety of imaging; evidence of improved technical capabilities of imaging; new findings based on imaging; and as a result of the above, evidence that the field has definite needs. We will briefly cover each of these in turn.
