Narrative review demonstrates the critical role of rapid noninvasive imaging in acute ischaemic stroke, highlighting paradigm shifts in patient triage for emerging therapies.
Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a debilitating disease for which effective therapies are now available. Effective identification of candidates for therapy relies heavily on noninvasive imaging that must be interpreted accurately in a short timeframe. This review summarizes the evolution of AIS therapies and the implications for noninvasive imaging. The review concludes with consideration of longstanding assumptions about imaging of ischaemic stroke and potential paradigm shifts on the horizon.
