Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is highly sensitive in detecting early cerebral ischemic changes in acute stroke patients. In this study we compared the sensitivity of DWI with that of conventional MRI techniques. Furthermore, we investigated the prognostic value of the volume of ischemic lesions on DWI scans and of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). METHODS We perf...
متن کاملCombined diffusion-weighted and perfusion-weighted flow heterogeneity magnetic resonance imaging in acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The heterogeneity of microvascular flows is known to be an important determinant of the efficacy of oxygen delivery to tissue. Studies in animals have demonstrated decreased flow heterogeneity (FH) in states of decreased perfusion pressure. The purpose of the present study was to assess microvascular FH changes in acute stroke with use of a novel perfusion-weighted MRI te...
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 کاملClinical Significance of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Treatment Efficacy in MS Patients With Acute Attacks
Background: Despite the existence of various imaging methods, the accurate diagnosis of many neurodegenerative diseases is still controversial. The use of advanced imaging techniques, such as the diffusion weighted imaging can be help the early detection of MS and evaluation of the treatment efficacy in these patients. Materials and method: 24 MS patients with acute attack and thirty healthy s...
