Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,405 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.

Imaging of acute stroke prior to treatment: Current practice and evolving techniques
You will need to ask your doctor if this includes images prior to start of rehabilitation. How the hell else do you think your therapists have any idea of what the damage is that they are working with?

Standard
imaging in acute stroke is undertaken with the aim of diagnosing the
underlying cause and excluding stroke mimics. In the presence of
ischaemic stroke, imaging is also needed to assess patient suitability
for treatment with intravenous thrombolysis. Non-contrast CT is
predominantly used but MRI can also exclude any contra-indications to
thrombolysis treatment. Advanced stroke imaging such as CT and MR
angiography and perfusion imaging are increasingly used in an acute
setting. In this review, we discuss the evidence for the application of
these advanced techniques in the imaging of acute stroke.
