        abstract = {Acute stroke is a neurological emergency and a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical for improving clinical outcomes. Radiological imaging plays a central role in the acute evaluation of stroke by differentiating ischemic from hemorrhagic events, identifying vascular occlusions, estimating infarct core and salvageable penumbra and guiding reperfusion therapies. The advent of multimodal imaging techniques, including non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT), CT angiography (CTA), CT perfusion (CTP)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has significantly transformed stroke management. This comprehensive review discusses the principles, imaging findings, clinical applications, advantagesand limitations of various radiological modalities used in acute stroke, with emphasis on imaging-based treatment selection and emerging technological advances.},
