Brain Imaging in the Assessment of Thrombectomy

Brain imaging in thrombectomy assessment involves using advanced scans, like CT or MRI, to visualize the brain before and after removing a blood clot caused by a stroke. These images help doctors determine the size and location of the blockage, evaluate the brain tissue affected, and ensure the procedure was successful. By providing detailed information about blood flow and brain health, imaging guides treatment decisions, predicts outcomes, and helps monitor recovery, ultimately improving care for stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy.
