Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroimaging in the triage of ischemic stroke has significantly evolved over the past few years, especially regarding the timely identification of patients benefiting from thrombolytic and endovascular treatment. New imaging techniques have been established, such as automated computed tomography (CT) perfusion tools, or spectral CT techniques. Neuroimaging is increasingly used to guide a patient-specific individual treatment, rather than selection for treatment by rigid criteria. Nonetheless, different diagnostic approaches for stroke triage exist in different stroke centers. The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss recent advances in diagnostic approaches in stroke imaging. Research data, new concepts, and discussions of potential interventions that modify disease response in an ischemic stroke context will be considered. Original papers, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are welcome.
