Relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient and subsequent hemorrhagic transformation following acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A method for identifying patients at increased risk for developing secondary hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke could be of significant value, particularly in patients being considered for thrombolytic therapy. We hypothesized that diffusion-weighted MRI might aid in the identification of such patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 17 pat...

Predicting Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) increases the morbidity and mortality of ischemic stroke. Anticoagulation is often indicated in patients with atrial fibrillation, low ejection fraction, or mechanical valves who are hospitalized with acute stroke, but increases the risk of HT. Risk quantification would be useful. Prior studies have investigated risk of systemic hemorrhage in anticoagulated patie...

Regional very low cerebral blood volume predicts hemorrhagic transformation better than diffusion-weighted imaging volume and thresholded apparent diffusion coefficient in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Currently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume is the most useful magnetic resonance imaging predictor of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Preliminary studies have suggested that very low cerebral blood volume (VLCBV) predicts HT. We compared HT prediction by VLCBV and DWI using data from the EPITHET study. METHODS Normal-percentile CBV values were calculated...

Association of early CT abnormalities, infarct size, and apparent diffusion coefficient reduction in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging is more sensitive for early ischemia than CT, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping permits quantification of the severity of cytotoxic edema. We examined the relationship between early CT findings, ischemic lesion volume on DW images, and edema subtype. METHODS Patients in whom early signs of ischemia were detected on baseline...

Correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient and computed tomography density in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted MR imaging is very sensitive for the detection of restricted molecular water diffusion in acute ischemic stroke. CT is sensitive to net water uptake in ischemic edema. We compared the decrease in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in diffusion-weighted MR imaging with CT density changes to study the correlation between diffusion restriction and wa...
