Can cerebral infarction be detected in the early stages?

Cerebral infarction can be detected in the early stage.
The common clinical manifestations of cerebral infarction are crooked mouth, slurred speech or aphasia, numbness and weakness of the limbs on the partial side, ataxia and so on. Early cerebral infarction can be detected by cranial CT (electron computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) in general.
Cranial CT is the most commonly used examination, which is important for the identification of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage in the early stage of the disease, but cerebral infarction foci are generally visualized after 24 hours, and it is more difficult to detect small infarction foci in the brainstem and cerebellum, whereas MRI can detect infarction foci at any time, and can also detect cerebral infarction foci in brainstem, cerebellar infarction and cavernous infarction foci in a timely manner.
If the symptoms of cerebral infarction can be detected in a short time and treated in time, the disability and mortality rate caused by the disease can be greatly reduced. Therefore, if you notice suspicious symptoms in people around you, you should quickly recognize them and call emergency services promptly.
