NIHSS = National Institute for Health Stroke Scale; LACS = lacunar stroke; TACS = total anterior circulation stroke; PACS = partial anterior circulation stroke; POCS = posterior circulation stroke; NA = not available.
*Patients 7 and 10 received thrombolysis prior to the MRI scan rather than during it. Patient 7 finished thrombolysis immediately prior to imaging. Patient 10 was imaged 6 h after thrombolysis.
