Description
The MR Stroke Protocol is a comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging examination designed specifically for the evaluation of stroke. This protocol typically includes multiple MRI sequences such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), and MR angiography. These sequences help in rapidly identifying the presence, type (ischemic or hemorrhagic), location, and extent of a stroke. The protocol is particularly valuable in acute stroke cases, as it can detect early ischemic changes and assess the salvageable brain tissue (penumbra). This information is crucial for guiding treatment decisions, such as the use of thrombolytic therapy or mechanical thrombectomy.
