New imaging for stroke
PUFFINS: Potential use of Fast Field Cycling in Ischaemic Stroke
FFC-MRI
FCC-MRI gives the potential to identify 'what is going on' in greater detail in the tissue at risk, and perhaps eventually give information on the composition of thrombus (which is blocking the blood vessel and causing the stroke) which might in future influence choice of treatments.
