![]() ![]() In acute stroke, differential diagnosis of ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke and other intracranial vasculopathies is a common application of MRI. It can detect hemodynamic, structural alterations of intracranial arteries and metabolic status of their associated brain regions. MRI excels other imaging techniques by its features of non-invasive, diverse sequences and high spatiotemporal resolution. Key Content and Findings: Neuroimaging is a powerful tool for CVD diagnosis including cerebral angiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ![]() Methods: This review is composed mainly based on searching PubMed articles between September, 2013 and Decemin English. Thus, differential diagnoses of strokes from other primary and secondary CVDs are especially important and challenging. Different CVDs have different pathological processes while they have many signs in common with some other brain diseases. Accurate diagnosis of CVDs is essential to guide therapeutic decisions and foresee the prognosis. ![]()
