Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability. Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used for the early detection of ischemic stroke and the longitudinal monitoring of novel treatment strategies. Recent advances in MRI techniques have enabled improved sensitivity and specificity to detecting ischemic brain injury and monitoring functional recovery. This review describes recent progresses in the development and application of multimodal MRI and image analysis techniques to study experimental stroke in rats and non-human primates.
