This trial is testing whether MRI (a type of brain imaging scan) can diagnose stroke faster and more accurately than CT scans in the emergency room. The study involves patients who arrive at the hospital with stroke symptoms. Researchers want to see if MRI helps doctors identify and treat stroke more quickly, which could improve how well patients recover.
Stroke is a medical emergency where every minute matters — patients who receive treatment quickly have much better outcomes. While both MRI and CT scans are used to diagnose stroke, this treatment offers clearer, faster detection of stroke damage, especially in the first few hours when treatment can be most effective.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would have both an MRI and a CT scan performed in the emergency department as part of your acute stroke care. The research team will measure how quickly each scan is completed and how accurately each one identifies your stroke. This happens during your emergency visit, and the scans are part of standard stroke diagnosis — the research is focused on comparing their speed and accuracy.
