Synopsis

Keywords: Stroke, StrokeShortening MR scan time to diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke helps to perform intravenous thrombolysis more quickly and accurately for patients, thus improving the patients’ prognosis. A rapid stroke protocol was evaluated. With about 10 minutes of scanning, we achieved T1 flash, T2 TSE, T2 flair, high-resolution isotropic DWI, TOF and ASL. This protocol improved the detection rate of cerebral infarct lesions without compromising image quality, which help to make thrombolysis of patients with acute ischemic stroke earlier and more accurate.
