Diffusion-weighted imaging differentiates ischemic tissue from traumatized tissue.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be particularly effective in detecting early (0 to 4 hours) pathophysiological changes in localized brain regions after cerebral ischemia. The present study sought to establish whether diffusion-weighted MRI would be similarly effective in predicting outcome after traumatic brain injury. METHODS Diffu...
متن کاملcharacterization of soft tissue tumors by diffusion-weighted imaging
conclusion our preliminary results have shown that although there is some overlap between benign and malignant tumors, adding dwi, mr imaging to routine soft tissue tumor protocols may improve diagnostic accuracy. results there was only one patient with a malignant cystic tumor and was not included in the statistical analysis. the median adc values of benign and malignant tumors were 2.31 ± 1.2...
متن کاملWater Movements in Biological Tissue and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (08frg113)
This Focussed Research Group (FRG) was organized with two goals. The first goal was to facilitate the interpretation of results from the state-of-the-art diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) technique by using a multi-scale mathematical modeling approach to study the transport of ions and water in biological tissue. The second goal was to utilize more realistic models of water tr...
متن کاملDiffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging of compromised tissue in stroke.
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging were performed on at least two occasions in 28 children presenting with stroke. In previous reports of DWI in human stroke, eventual infarction was observed (with only one exception) in all regions in which early DWI hyperintensity occurred. In the present report, two children had regions of DWI hyperintensity which did...
متن کاملCharacterization of Soft Tissue Tumors by Diffusion-Weighted Imaging
BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a noninvasive method for investigation of tumor histological content. It has been applied for some musculoskeletal tumors and reported to be useful. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors and to determine if ADC can help diffe...
