Acute stroke imaging is neuroimaging, namely tomographic scanning of the brain using X-rays, magnetic resonance, or ultrasound, that occurs within twenty-four hours of a stroke. "Acute" refers not to the nature of a stroke, but to the first twenty-four-hour-period after onset of a stroke.[1] X-ray scan lines or other scan data are complied by a computer to produce a three-dimensional image, or model, of the affected brain area. Like other x-ray techniques involving soft tissue, a CT scan can be enhanced by the injection of iodinated or other contrast material.

Every year, about 795,000 people experience a new or a recurrent stroke. Cerebrovascular disease ranks No. 4 among all causes of death and is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the United States. Hence the need for rapid diagnosis and management is vital.[2]

The diagnosis of acute stroke is made on the basis of patient history, clinical examination and

neuroimaging. Temporally, stroke is defined as acute (24 hours), sub-acute (1–5 days) and chronic (weeks). The newer category hyper-acute stroke refers to stroke during the first six hours after onset.
