Despite recent progress in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with multiple trials demonstrating improved clinical outcome associated with endovascular thrombectomy up to 24 hours after onset, there is potential opportunity for optimal patient selection and treatment algorithm to further improve treatment outcome. Current limitation is in part caused by inconsistency of imaging protocols and imaging-based definitions of oligemia, penumbra, and infarction core within the various hypoperfusion states. To truly maximize the impact of imaging in acute ischemic stroke, imaging definitions of hypoperfusion states need to be more consistent and validated to correctly reflect different severities of ischemic injury.

Background: Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most important independent risk factors for stroke that is closely related to the occurrence of cognitive impairment. The relationship between ICAS and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) remains unclear. Cerebral hemodynamic changes are one of the main causes of cognitive impairment.

Purpose: Differentiating ischemic brain damage is critical for decision making in acute stroke treatment for better outcomes. We examined the sensitivity of amide proton transfer (APT) MRI, a pH-weighted imaging technique, to achieve this differentiation.
Methods: In a rat stroke model, the ischemic core, oligemia, and the infarct-growth region (IGR) were identified by tracking the progression of the lesions.

Acute stroke imaging plays a vital and time-sensitive role in therapeutic decision-making. Current clinical workflows widely use computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) techniques including CT and MR perfusion to estimate the volume of ischemic penumbra at risk for infarction without acute intervention. The use of imaging techniques aimed toward evaluating the metabolic derangements underlying a developing infarct may provide additional information for differentiating the penumbra from benign oligemia and infarct core.

Background And Purpose: Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) has successfully extended the time window for reperfusion therapies in ischemic stroke. However, the published perfusion parameters and thresholds vary between studies. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies (PRISMA-DTA) guidelines, we conducted a systematic review to investigate the accuracy of parameters and thresholds for identifying core and penumbra in adult stroke patients.

Purpose: Amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging was an effective tool to reveal the tissue acidosis of acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of APTw MRI to distinguish progressive penumbra and benign oligemia in the diffusion-perfusion mismatch region.
Materials And Methods: 38 acute cerebral infarction patients who underwent a comprehensive MRI examination, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), APT imaging, and a follow-up scan in one week were recruited.
