This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When a major artery in the brain becomes blocked, doctors can remove the clot using a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. This study is looking at special MRI brain scans taken 12–24 hours after the procedure to see if they can predict how well patients will recover over the next three months. The goal is to understand which imaging measurements might help doctors predict outcomes and improve future stroke care.
Right now, doctors have very few tools to predict how well a patient will recover after this type of stroke treatment, aside from checking whether the clot was successfully removed. This study hopes that special brain imaging can reveal important information about tissue healing that will help doctors better understand and predict recovery.

If you join this study, you will undergo a special brain MRI scan between 12 and 24 hours after your stroke treatment. The scan takes about one hour and uses advanced imaging techniques to measure how your brain tissue is healing. Researchers will then follow your recovery for three months and compare the imaging results to how well you recover, to see if these scans can predict outcomes.
