Magnetic Resonance Imaging Criteria for Thrombolysis in Acute Cerebral Infarct
Stroke 36:388-397, Hjort, N., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MRI is an established application in acute evaluation of stroke patients and may suit as a brain clock, replacing the currently used epidemiological time clock when deciding whether to initiate thrombolytic therapy. MRI criteria for thrombolytic therapy are applied in some cerebrovascular centers, but the results of ongoing clinical trials must be awaited before it is possible to reach consensus.
