imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging offers higher sensitivity for detecting acute ischemia. Additional studies, including CT or MR angiography and carotid Doppler ultrasound, help identify vascular occlusions or stenosis. Cardiac evaluation, such as echocardiography and ECG monitoring, may be necessary in cases with suspected embolic sources.

Focal brain ischemia

Focal brain ischemia occurs when a blood clot has occluded a cerebral vessel.
