Abstract Stroke is a life-threatening event that is expected to more than double over the next 40 years. Approximately 85% of strokes are ischemic in nature and result from thromboembolic occlusion of a major cerebral artery or its branches. One of the diagnostic methods for detection of the cerebral ischemia is the gadolinium-enhanced MRI imaging. It is mainly used in patients to detect brain tissue damaged by an ischemic stroke and brain hemorrhage. These techniques are expensive, require sophisticated machines and are time consuming. A recent study in acute stroke patients showed gadolinium leakage into ocular structures (GLOS) during MRI imaging… More >
