Magnetic resonance imaging criteria for thrombolysis in hyperacute XXXX .

@entity1 @entity64 @entity1456 @entity385
PURPOSE: Selection of @entity1 with @entity385 for MRI that is suitable for thrombolytic therapy as an emerging application. Although the efficiency of the therapy with i.v. @entity1456 (tPA) within 3 hours after onset of symptoms has been proven in selected @entity1 with CT, now these criteria are determined by MRI, as the data we gather are fast and accurate in the first hours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: MRI screening in @entity1 with acute @entity385 before application of thrombolytic therapy was done in a UCC Mannheim in Germany. Unlike trials with CT, MRI studies demonstrated the benefits of therapy up to 6 hours after the onset of symptoms. We studied 21 @entity1 hospitalized in Clinic of Neuroradiology at University Clinical Centre in Mannheim-Germany. They all undergo brain MRI evaluation for @entity64 . This article reviews literature that has followed application of thrombolysis in @entity1 with @entity385 based on MRI. RESULTS: We have analyzed the MRI criteria for i.v. application of tPA at this University Centre. Alongside the personal viewpoints of clinicians, survey reveals a variety of clinical aspects and MRI features that are opened for further more exploration: therapeutic effects, the use of the MRI angiography, dynamics, and other. CONCLUSIONS: MRI is a tested imaging method for rapid evaluation of @entity1 with hyperacute @entity385 , replacing the use of CT imaging and clinical features. MRI criteria for thrombolytic therapy are being applied in some cerebral vascular centres. In Kosovo, the application of thrombolytic therapy has not started yet.
