Acute ischemic stroke imaging is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and yields essential information regarding tissue integrity, a factor that remains a key therapeutic determinant. Given the widespread public health implications of stroke and central role of neuroimaging in overall management, acute stroke imaging remains a heavily debated, extensively researched, and rapidly evolving subject. There has been recent debate in the scientific community due to divided opinions on the use of CT perfusion and access-related limitations of MRI. In this paper we review and summarize recent updates relevant to acute stroke imaging and propose an imaging paradigm based on the recently available evidence.

The neuroimaging workup for patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke has advanced significantly over the past few decades. Evaluation is no longer limited to noncontrast computed tomography (CT), but now frequently also includes vascular and perfusion imaging. Although acute stroke imaging has made significant progress with the development of multimodal approaches, there are still many unanswered questions regarding their appropriate use in daily patient care. It is important for all physicians taking care of stroke patients to be familiar with current multimodal CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including their strengths, limitations, and their role in guiding therapy.
