Abstract
Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide, the second most common cause of dementia and the third leading cause of death. Though the etiology of stroke has been explored extensively, there remains open questions in the scientific and clinical study of stroke. Traditional imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, have been applied extensively and remain mainstays in clinical practice. Nevertheless, positron emission tomography has proven to be a powerful molecular imaging tool in exploring the scientific aspects of neurological disease, and stroke remains an area of great interest. This review article examines the role of positron emission tomography in the study of stroke including its contributions to elaborating related pathophysiology and delving into possible clinical applications.
期刊介绍：
The scope of AJNMMI encompasses all areas of molecular imaging, including but not limited to: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), molecular magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, etc. AJNMMI welcomes original and review articles on both clinical investigation and preclinical research. Occasionally, special topic issues, short communications, editorials, and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.
