      Neuroimaging plays an important role in the clinical practice of cerebrovascular diseases. This article reviews recent developments of MR imaging and CT in the diagnosis of cerebral ischemia. First, we discuss the visualization of acute cerebral ischemia including on early ischemic sign on CT, recent technical advances in diffusion MR imaging, and findings on susceptibility-weighted imaging. This is followed by presentation of recent techniques of vessel imaging. It includes MR angiography at 3T, intraarterial sign on FLAIR images, basiparallel anatomic scan, intracranial MR angiography using black-blood techniques, non-contrast time-resolved MR angiography, and current status of plaque imaging of the neck vessels. Finally, we discuss recent advances in perfusion imaging focusing on that by area-detector CT and arterial spin labeling technique.

      Coil embolization of ruptured cerebral aneurysms, carotid artery stenting, and mechanical thrombectomy in cases of acute ischemic stroke are the most frequently performed endovascular interventions in stroke. In the present review, we will discuss these neuroendovascular procedures, along with the latest results of the related large-scale clinical trials.
      For coil embolization, we will show how novel coil types and adjuvant devices have contributed to expanding the surgical indication for coiling and how they have improved the clinical outcome. For carotid artery stenting, we will present the devices used to prevent ischemic complications, along with some of the current issues and future challenges. Finally, we will review the mechanical thrombectomy, a more recent treatment method for acute cerebral artery occlusion, and thrombectomy devices such as Merci Retriever and Penumbra System.
