Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2010 Nov;20(4):455-68. doi: 10.1016/j.nic.2010.07.002.

Abstract

In this article the individual components of multimodal computed tomography and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging are discussed, the current status of neuroimaging for the evaluation of the acute ischemic stroke is presented, and the potential role of a combined multimodal stroke protocol is addressed.
