ASL perfusion in acute ischemic stroke: The value of CBF in outcome prediction

The application of novel advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in clinical practice has significantly improved diagnostic accuracy in early detection of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), additionally allowing outcome prediction. The introduction of arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion sequence as a standard in MRI protocols is a significant milestone in neuroradiology. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the potential of...
