Serial neuroimaging that includes both pre- and
post-therapy time points provides insight on the
dynamics of reperfusion and may be useful in the
guidance of further interventions. Here we demonstrate
that a multi-modal four-dimensional ischemic stroke
template of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke can be
used to characterize the effects of thrombolytic
intervention over time as ischemic brain tissue makes
the transition from injury into repair. As the injured
brain tissue evolves with time, there is clear evidence
that treatment induces a significant hyperemic response
in hypoperfused regions. By contrast, tissue that is
left untreated exhibits incomplete reperfusion.
