MondayASA: Imaging 'Mismatch' Spots Stroke Patients at Need for Lysis
Primary source: American Stroke Association 2006 International Stroke Conference READ MORE: " The ischemic stroke patients at greatest need for thrombolytic therapy to save injured brain tissue may soon be triaged by a sophisticated imaging approach called mismatch, investigators said here.
Mismatch is a term used to find whether areas of the stroke-injured brain are still salvageable, as determined by two different kinds of MRI scans. One, called perfusion-weighted MRI, measures blood flow. The other, called diffusion weighted MRI, is a marker of cell injury." |
