Stroke and Its Mimics: Diagnosis and Treatment
摘要
Imaging is a key step in evaluating the acute stroke patient in order to establish the correct diagnosis and to facilitate fast triage decisions regarding treatment with thrombolysis and endovascular therapy in potentially eligible patients. This chapter explores evidence-based guidelines for stroke imaging, discusses the role of CT and MRI in acute stroke assessment, offers strategies for streamlining imaging workflows, and provides insights into identifying stroke mimics.
