[Abstract] Recently, Therapeutics and Technology Assessment Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology reported the Evidence-based guideline: The role of diffusion and perfusion MRI for the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. The guideline retrospectively assessed the evidence for the use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) in the diagnosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke, and provided 6 pieces of recommendations. In this article, the main contents of the guideline and its related evidences were reviewed and evaluated.
