Funded Activity Summary

Stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability. Diagnostic tools to improve its management are therefore crucial. This project is dedicated to improving the magnetic resonance imaging techniques for measuring blood flow to the brain, and to applying these to patients who have had a stroke. Improved methods will enable better prediction of tissue outcome following stroke, thus enabling optimal early management decisions to be taken.
