Rapid multimodal imaging is essential in the workup and management of acute ischemic stroke. Early parenchymal findings on noncontrast computed tomography or standard magnetic resonance imaging are used to triage patients for intravenous thrombolysis and to provide insight on prognosis. In the wake of recent endovascular stroke trials, advanced techniques including perfusion imaging and noninvasive vascular imaging are becoming important tools to guide potential endovascular treatment or expand therapy windows. Advanced imaging is also important in pediatric ischemic stroke which requires a slightly different workflow and treatment approach. Here, we will discuss key imaging findings in acute ischemic stroke, as well as the present and future of neuroimaging in light of recent and ongoing clinical trials.
