Diffusion-weighted MRI in acute subcortical infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional imaging lacks sensitivity and specificity for the detection of early subcortical cerebral infarction. The purposes of our study were (1) to determine the accuracy of diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI for early subcortical infarction and (2) to determine the efficacy of DW MRI for differentiating acute from nonacute subcortical infarctions when conventional MR demon...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted MRI in Acute Lacunar Syndromes
Background and Purpose—Clinical-radiological correlation studies in lacunar syndromes have been handicapped by the low sensitivity of CT and standard MRI for acute small-vessel infarction and their difficulty in differentiating between acute and chronic lesions. Methods—We prospectively studied 43 patients presenting with a classic lacunar syndrome using diffusion-weighted MRI, a technique with...
متن کاملPoint spread function mapping for distortion correction of spinal cord diffusion weighted MRI
Introduction Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) is a promising method to assess axonal integrity in the spinal cord in vivo [1]. However, the fast imaging sequences required for in vivo DWMRI are sensitive to B0-field inhomogeneities caused by susceptibility differences around vertebral structures and lungs. Those inhomogeneities cause voxel shift that corrupt the anatomical ...
متن کاملDisplacement imaging of spinal cord using q-space diffusion-weighted MRI.
Displacement MR images of water in in vitro rat spinal cord were computed from q-space analysis of high b value diffusion-weighted MRI data. It is demonstrated that q-space analysis of heavily diffusion-weighted MRI (qs-DWI) provides MR images in which physical parameters of the tissues such as the mean displacement and the probability for zero displacement of the water molecules are used as co...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging of the spinal cord.
Diffusion-weighted MR imaging may increase the sensitivity and specificity of MR imaging for certain pathologic conditions of the spinal cord but is rarely performed because of several technical issues. We therefore tested a novel phase-navigated spin-echo diffusion-weighted interleaved echo-planar imaging sequence in seven healthy volunteers and six patients with intramedullary lesions. We per...
