Heme and iron metabolism are of considerable interest and importance in normal brain
function as well as in neurodegeneration and neuropathologically following traumatic injury …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for the diagnosis of
acute ischaemic stroke but its sensitivity for the early detection of intracerebral haemorrhage …

Background Although the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of
acute stroke is increasing, this method has not proved more effective than computed …

ContextNoncontrast computed tomography (CT) is the standard brain imaging study for the
initial evaluation of patients with acute stroke symptoms. Multimodal magnetic resonance …

Background and Purpose—Although modern multisequence stroke MRI protocols are an
emerging imaging routine for the diagnostic assessment of acute ischemic stroke, their …

Many therapies have shown promise in preclinical stroke studies, but few benefit patients. A
greater understanding of stroke pathophysiology is needed to successfully develop …

Background and Purpose—MRI has been increasingly used in the evaluation of acute
stroke patients. However, MRI must be able to detect early hemorrhage to be the only …

Background—Susceptibility-weighted (SW) MRI provides insight into the pathophysiology of
acute stroke. We report on the use of SW imaging (SWI) sequences in clinical practice and …
