Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Stroke 1st Edition

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides non-invasive information about the brain’s blood flow, water movement
and biochemical abnormalities following stroke. Advances in MRI are transforming the investigation and treatment of
cerebrovascular disease. Echoplanar techniques with diffusion and perfusion weighted imaging–together with
developments in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and angiography–are replacing CT scanning as the diagnostic
modality of choice. In this profusely illustrated book, world leaders in these technologies review the scientific basis and
clinical applications of MRI in stroke.
