Stroke MRI is a new imaging tool providing detailed information of the pathophysiological
aspects of cerebral ischemia. This book - with CD-ROM - includes a case collection of 25
hyperacute stroke patients all imaged within six hours of stroke onset with a complete stroke
MRI protocol. Stroke MRI and the established clinical methods are compared and recent results
from single and multicenter trials are presented to demonstrate the advantages of MRI for
stroke patients. The CD-ROM contains diffusion- T2- T2-perfusion-weighted images and MR
angiography. The CD and the book are complementary to avoid redundancy as far as possible.
