Neuroimaging Clearance in Thrombolysis

Jasmine Kalyani P

Abstract: We all know that time is brain. Per stroke in one second, 32, 000 neurons are lost. In one minute 1.9 million neurons are lost. In one hour 120 million neurons are lost. If left untreated, 1.2 billion neurons are lost. Here comes the early identification of stroke and salvaging the 1penumbra which is the surrounding region of the infarcted area. Thrombolysis being decentralized now every physician should be aware of the early signs of ischemia in neuroimaging. To familiarise these grey and white magical signs to the residents is the main aim of writing this article. CT is the primary imaging modality used for selecting appropriate treatment in patients with acute stroke.
