Diagnostic Values of Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: This study aims to provide diagnostic values of ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this systematic review focused exclusively on full-text articles published in English between 2014 and 2024. Result: The study conducted a comprehensive review of over 100 publications sourced from reputable databases, including ScienceDirect, SagePub, and PubMed. Following an initial screening, five publications were identified as warranting more in-depth analysis. Consequently, a thorough review of these selected studies was performed to ensure a detailed and rigorous evaluation. Conclusion: diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has a higher diagnostic value regarding ischemic stroke among MRI methods, and CTP has a poor diagnostic value among CT methods, which provide therapeutic considerations for Ischemic stroke intervention.
