Acute Normalization of apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values may not reflect tissue recovery in acute stroke patients

Figure 2. (a) ADC (unit 1×10 mm/s) changes in the presence and absence of reperfusion; (b)histogram of tp2 ADC in the reperfused ROI that did (infarct) and did not (noninfarct) go on infarction. The two vertical lines show ADC abnormal threshold (left) and normal mean (right). Figure 1. Representative ADC, MTT at tp1 and tp2 and FLAIR at tp3 from two patients. The range of the colorbar is from 20 to 220×10 mm/s for ADC and from 0 to 20 seconds for MTT.
