AbstractNew CT and MR imaging techniques used for non-traumatic neurologic emergencies (represented mostly by ischemic stroke) fulfil the exigency to know quickly and with high accuracy the presence of abnormalities in cerebral perfusion, with the final aim to practise immediately all the treatments needed to prevent the progression of the neurologic damage, by selecting those patients to undergo fibrinolysis, which is useless and not indicated in many occasions. The diagnosis of ischemia is only the first goal reached by these new diagostic tools, while it is nowdays possible and required to stratify the risk factors for the therapy and to accurate select those patients candidates to fibrolnilysis, in order to minimize the risck related to the inadequate treatment choice.
