Description
Wang and colleagues review in twenty twenty-six an advanced brain scan method for judging fine damage after stroke. Standard scans show where a stroke hit and whether it bled, but they miss tiny structural change and repair in early tissue. The newer method, a form of magnetic scanning, measures how water moves along nerve fibres to gauge their density and spread.
The review covers the method's basis, its uses in both blocked-vessel and bleeding strokes, and its limits. One striking use is spotting changes in mood pathways after stroke. About one in three survivors faces depression, and the method may flag those at risk better than older measures. The authors map next steps to bring it into routine care.
