This speicial issue focuses on advances in neuroimaging that have recently contributed to an improvement in the acute triage of ischemic stroke, particularly regarding the timely identification of patients benefiting from thrombolytic and endovascular treatment. Mechanical thrombectomy has proven to be significantly associated with better functional outcomes, even in an extended time window from symptom onset. Imaging-based pathophysiological features help to understand the importance of a patient-specific, individual treatment decision with the aim of increasing the proportion of patients eligible for treatment, rather than selection for treatment in accordance with rigid criteria. Nevertheless, multiple diagnostic approaches for stroke triage exist, with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging being commonly utilized. This Special Issue presents recent advances in the development of new diagnostic approaches in stroke imaging.
