Applications and development of permeability imaging in ischemic stroke.

Brain permeability imaging techniques are specific for the assessment of blood-brain barrier integrity. The present review article primarily focuses on the application of permeability imaging in cases of ischemic stroke. The permeability maps may be used to predict future hemorrhagic transformation in patients following acute ischemic stroke, that have been treated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or recanalization therapy. The permeability imaging would help make the clinical decision to administer tPA following acute ischemic stroke or not, which is not only due to the current 3-4.5 h time window. Additionally, permeability imaging may also be used to evaluate the collateral circulation in the perfusion and permeability of the ischemic area of the brain.
