It uses an intravascular tracer and serial imaging to quantify the flow of blood through the brain parenchyma. In the case of acute ischemic stroke, MRI stroke protocol + perfusion imaging increases the accuracy of diagnosis, helps in target identification of treatment, and provides effective information about the functional outcome.
