This report will discuss how cerebrovascular disease, in particular ischemic stroke, can be diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging scans. It will go through the different MRI sequences and the physics behind them. Evidence from two case studies are presented, which use the MRI sequences discussed within this report. Consequently, the recent advances in diagnostic techniques and methodologies will be analysed and evaluated.
