[Abstract] Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), also known as acute cerebral infarction, is one of the most common type of stroke in China, with high mortality and disability rate. As the target of reperfusion therapy for acute cerebral infarction, the early and accurate identification of ischemic penumbra is of great significance for clinicians to make reasonable treatment plan and prognosis evaluation. In recent years, a variety of mismatched models based on MRI sequences have studied how to identify the ischemic penumbra early and accurately from the perspectives of hemodynamics, collateral circulation and metabolism. This article reviews the research progress of these models in the evaluation of ischemic penumbra, aiming to provide directions for future research.
