Stroke or cerebrovascular accident is the most leading neurological syndrome and ranks three of all the human brain abnormality. The commencement of neurological symptomatology includes hemiparesis, aphasia, and hemianopia. If any blockage of blood flow or rupture of an artery to the brain occurs, then that result in lack of oxygen which results in sudden demise of the brain cells tends to Stroke. To detect and locate the type and status of stroke, the highly recommended modalities by the physicians are Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is a great challenging task for the physicians to locate the acute lesions from CT and MRI, thus an elegant event can be developed. Developing such a smart computer aided automated method will sure help in locating such acute lesions. A clean review on stroke and all its technical detecting modalities and methods are analyzed to develop a computer aided approach to detect acute lesions. These sort of computer aided stroke detection acts well in identifying the normal and abnormal tissues in human brain. © Research India Publications.
