Abstract
Advances in modern imaging techniques are being applied in two areas of acute stroke management: refining triage decisions on which patients should receive thrombolytic therapy, and improving clinical trials of new stroke treatments. For guiding thrombolytic therapy decisions, the need is to be able to determine whether there is sufficient salvageable tissue to warrant the risks of treatment. These risks include reperfusion injury and hemorrhagic complications.
