Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Study Stroke

Stroke, when blood flow is blocked in the brain, is a devastating disease of the cardiovascular system. Oakland University Distinguished Professor of Medical Physics Michael Chopp and his coworkers at Henry Ford Hospital reported in the journal Stroke of new advances in using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to monitor stroke in rats. Their paper "Temporal MRI assessment of intracerebral hemorrhage in rats" (vol. 39, pp. 2596-2602, 2008) concludes "These methods may be useful to evaluate therapeutic interventions after experimental ICH [Intracerebral Hemorrhage] and eventually in humans."
