Abstract
One of the main causes of disability in the globe is stroke. Better clinical outcomes from stroke therapy and diagnosis depend on timely intervention. It is crucial to diagnose stroke subtypes quickly and accurately. In addition to the clinical evaluation of stroke severity using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, the current gold-standard method for stroke assessment calls for brain and neurovascular imaging. However, each imaging modality has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, this review focused on overviewing stroke diagnostic imaging modalities. This review was established by searching the databases for relevant articles. Physicians make their decision to preserve the patient’s life based on the nature and complexity of the stroke. However, some disabilities persist after surgery and proper management. To diagnose a stroke, the most suitable and accessible modality must be used. Computed tomography scans are the primary choice for imaging acute stroke patients as they are readily available, quick to obtain, and have a higher diagnostic sensitivity for intracerebral bleeding. Certain hospitals adopt a fast magnetic resonance imaging stroke protocol during the limited window of time for thrombolytic therapy.

Key words: Stroke, diagnosis, CT, MRI, review
