Vascular Imaging in Stroke: Comparative Analysis

Advances in stroke treatment have mirrored advances in vascular imaging. Understanding and advances in reperfusion therapies were made possible by improvements in computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, neurovascular ultrasound, and renewed interest in catheter angiography. As technology allows better noninvasive vascular diagnosis, digital subtraction angiography (the remaining gold standard for vascular imaging) is...
