Advanced neuroimaging techniques in stroke management

In recent years, the field of neuroimaging has undergone substantial advancements, significantly transforming stroke management. Stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, demanding precise diagnostic capabilities for efficient treatment. Conventional imaging methods, though invaluable, often fall short in offering detailed insight into brain function and structure following a stroke. As a result, there is an ongoing endeavor among researchers to refine imaging techniques for improved diagnostic accuracy, timely interventions, and optimized patient outcomes.This Research Topic aims to explore the incorporation of state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques within stroke management and their impact on diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring. The objectives include evaluating current technologies such as advanced MRI and CT imaging, the role of functional imaging in understanding cerebral perfusion, and the potential of novel modalities like multimodal imaging to enhance the precision of stroke assessment. Furthermore, the topic seeks to address questions related to the improvement of stroke care pathways through enhanced imaging and the integration of artificial intelligence in image processing.To gather further insights into neuroimaging advancements in stroke care, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:• Latest innovations in MRI and CT technologies for stroke detection• Utilization of AI and machine learning in neuroimaging data analysis• Multimodal imaging approaches for comprehensive stroke evaluation• The impact of functional imaging on treatment decision-making• Novel imaging biomarkers for predicting stroke outcomesSubmissions of original research, reviews, and case studies that drive forward our understanding of advanced neuroimaging in stroke management are encouraged.
