Identifying the ischaemic penumbra using pH-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

Harston et al. establish proof of principle for clinical use of pH-weighted MRI in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Detailed tissue-level analysis reveals that cerebral intracellular pH, a marker of metabolic stress, is associated with eventual tissue outcome, and complements established imaging modalities.
