Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "European Radiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00330-017-5174-4
Abstract: Background and purposeIt is assumed that up to 30 % of clinically diagnosed acute ischaemic strokes (AIS) are actually stroke mimics (SM). Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of advanced CT including CT angiography… read more here.

Clinical application of brain perfusion imaging in detecting stroke mimics: A review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Neuroimaging"
DOI: 10.1111/jon.13061
Abstract: Stroke mimics constitute a significant proportion of patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke. These conditions may resemble acute ischemic stroke and demonstrate abnormalities on perfusion imaging sequences. The most common stroke mimics include seizure/epilepsy, migraine… read more here.
