Abstract

This chapter focuses on the clinical aspects of stroke, specifically the diagnostic and treatment aspects of stroke. Studies are currently aimed at both treatment and management but, most importantly, proper and timely diagnosis, as these greatly influence patient outcome and subsequent quality of life. Here, recent work is highlighted, and also the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis is discussed. Certainly, it is my hope that this chapter will inspire physicians, scientists, engineers, and patients themselves to together formulate more accurate diagnostic tests directed toward proper treatment, all aimed at more effectively and more efficiently saving lives.
