MRI – Stroke Protocol is an advanced MRI technique designed specifically for the early detection and evaluation of stroke. It includes a combination of sequences such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion imaging, and other specialized scans to identify areas of reduced blood flow and brain tissue damage.
This scan is highly sensitive in detecting acute ischemic strokes, hemorrhages, and other vascular abnormalities. It helps doctors quickly determine the type, location, and severity of a stroke, enabling timely treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. The procedure is non-invasive, safe, and does not involve radiation.
The purpose of this MRI – Stroke Protocol test is to:
