This document discusses neuroimaging techniques for stroke diagnosis and treatment. It recommends that the initial scan should be a non-contrast CT (NCCT) to rule out hemorrhage. For hyperacute and acute strokes within 6 hours, MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is superior to detect infarcts but NCCT followed by CTA takes similar time. NCCT is also useful for follow-up to monitor for hemorrhage, edema, and infarct progression. The best imaging choice depends on the time since onset, availability, and whether vascular imaging is needed to guide treatment.
