any degree.

- Subject has a significant mass on baseline CT consistent with midline shift.

- Subject has a large (greater than one-third of the middle cerebral artery) regions of
clear hypodensity on the baseline CT scan.

- Subject has evidence of intraparenchymal tumor on baseline CT scan.

- Subject experiences a seizure at the onset of stroke.

- Subject has known hemosiderosis or hemochromatosis.

- Subject has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, pacemaker, neurostimulator or
other device incompatible with MRI.

- Subject has a history of stroke within the last three months.

- Subject has a previous or existing intracranial hemorrhage, neoplasm, subarachnoid
hemorrhage or arteriovenous malformation.

- Subject has experienced any active or recent (within 30 days) hemorrhage.

ulcerative wounds.

- Subject has recently (within 90 days) experienced severe head trauma with loss of
consciousness.

a direct thrombin inhibitor has been administered within 48 hours).

- Subject has had a recent (within 7 days) lumbar puncture or arterial puncture at a
non-compressible site.

evaluations.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is a prospective trial wherein each included subject will receive the experimental
magnetically enhanced diffusion therapy. It will be conducted on a maximum of ten adult male
or female patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and informed consent has
been obtained. Subjects presenting in the emergency department with acute ischemic stroke and
are eligible for tPA therapy may be considered for inclusion in the study.
