Description

After the stroke care unit of Tokushima University hospital was established in November 1999, stroke MRI (diffusion-, perfusion-weighted image, MRA) was performed to initially evaluate stroke patients, except for SAH. Since April 2004, 3 tesla MRI has been used for stroke MRI, and T2^* weighted image was added to routine study of stroke MRI. 3 tesla stroke MRI can reduce examination time and also take functional MR images, which yield important information for diagnosis and treatment decisions. The combination of our stroke center and rehabilitation hospital is a key factor in improving patients' outcomes for acute rehabilitation and improving quality of life.
