Diagnostic benefit of high b-value computed diffusion-weighted imaging in acute brainstem infarction
2022, Journal of NeuroradiologyCitation Excerpt :Consequently, it is crucial for the therapeutic process to clearly detect and delineate ischemic lesions. Due to its high sensitivity and specificity, diffusion- weighted imaging (DWI) has become the gold standard for detection and extent estimation of ischemic brain infarction.2,4–6 So, a sensitivity of up to 96–98% was reported in the literature for all ischemic strokes.
Risk factors for small cortical infarction on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke
2011, Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular DiseasesStroke
2003, LancetCitation Excerpt :Some severe infarcts do not appear for several days, though the proportion of infarcts not seen at all is much smaller than with CT. In clinical practice, as well as in research, DWI is especially useful in patients with minor stroke symptoms (the group in whom CT or T2 MR is least likely to show the lesion; figure 6).50 It is also useful in patients with suspected recurrent stroke (to discriminate from worsening neurological deficit due to intercurrent illness) and to identify multiple infarcts in different arterial territories, which suggest cardioembolic stroke (figure 7).
