When a stroke has been diagnosed, various other studies may be performed to determine the underlying etiology. With the current treatment and diagnosis options available, it is of particular importance to determine whether there is a peripheral source of [[embolus|emboli]]. Test selection may vary, since the cause of stroke varies with age, [[comorbidity]] and the clinical presentation. An [[angiogram]] of the cerebral vasculature (if a bleed is thought to have originated from an [[aneurysm]] or [[arteriovenous malformation]])
When a stroke has been diagnosed, various other studies may be performed to determine the underlying etiology. With the current treatment and diagnosis options available, it is of particular importance to determine whether there is a peripheral source of [[embolus|emboli]]. Test selection may vary, since the cause of ischemic stroke varies with age, [[comorbidity]] and the clinical presentation. Other imaging findings which may help identify the underlying cause may include CT angiography, MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography, positron emission tomography and SPECT scan.

Overview

When a stroke has been diagnosed, various other studies may be performed to determine the underlying etiology. With the current treatment and diagnosis options available, it is of particular importance to determine whether there is a peripheral source of emboli. Test selection may vary, since the cause of ischemic stroke varies with age, comorbidity and the clinical presentation. Other imaging findings which may help identify the underlying cause may include CT angiography, MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography, positron emission tomography and SPECT scan.

Other Imaging Studies

Other imaging studies which may help diagnose the cause and risk factors of ischemic stroke may include:[1]

Other imaging studies Rationale
CT angiography [2][3][4][5]
  • To determine the qualitative cerebral blood flow volume to the area surrounding the infarct tissue and can determine the risk of future infarct
  • May help identify underlying vascular pathology such as calcifications and degree of stenosis of the vessel
  • To diagnose the basilar artery thrombosis and acute large intracranial thrombus
MR angiography[1][6][5]
  • May be useful in patients with underlying vascular pathology or arterial dissection.
  • Advantageous over CTA in determining direction and flow of blood.
Digital subtraction angiography[1][7]
  • Diagnose collateral blood flow in cases of ischemic stroke
  • May be used to diagnose basilar artery thrombosis
Positron emission tomography[8][9][10]
  • May help determine the extent of irreversible tissue damage and pneumbra
SPECT scan[11][12][13][5]
  • May help determine the risk of reperfusion injury and hemorrhage after ischemic stroke
  • Identify penumbral tissue and irreversible damage
  • May have predictive value in determining functional recovery of neurons after ischemic stroke
Arterial spin labelling MR perfusion[14]
  • May help diagnose the presence of collateral blood flow
  • Does not use contrast material as MR perfusion
  • The most common parameter observed is cerebral blood flow
