[Abstract] Acute ischemic stroke as the main type of stroke has become the second largest cause of death and disability in the world. Early and timely diagnosis and treatment is very important to the prognosis of patients. In recent years, with the in-depth study of aquaporin, researchers found that aquaporin 4 is closely related to ischemic stroke, and proposed magnetic resonance imaging based on aquaporin theory. This article reviews the relationship between aquaporin 4 and ischemic stroke and the technical progress of aquaporin imaging in ischemic stroke.
