The focus of MRI stroke-research is concentrated in identifying relevant sequence for stroke-screening, accelerating the acquisitions by latest innovations like Compressed-SENSE and developing methodologies to extract meaningful clinical-relevance (i.e., penumbra or mismatch-ratio) using minimum number sequences. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of including T2-weighted-images in fast acute-ischemic-stroke MRI protocols, to comment on role of T2w vis-à-vis Flair in terms of clinical findings for making an informed decision on the inclusion-criteria of ideal MR sequences in stroke MR protocol. Flair proves to be better than T2, in depicting small/subtle signal changes in critical time-window, beneficial for acute-stroke patient-treatment-planning.
