DWI Intensity Values Predict FLAIR Lesions in Acute Ischemic Stroke
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In acute stroke, the DWI-FLAIR mismatch allows for the allocation of patients to the thrombolysis window (<4.5 hours). FLAIR-lesions, however, may be challenging to assess. In comparison, DWI may be a useful bio-marker owing to high lesion contrast. We investigated the performance of a relative DWI signal intensity (rSI) threshold to predict the presence of FLAIR-lesions ...
متن کاملAssessment of diagnostic value of DWI technique in the evaluation of liver fibrosis
Introduction: The liver fibrosis is caused by extracellular accumulation of cluster, glycos amino glycans and proteoglycans, which this extracellular accumulation may limit the penetration and molecular movement of water in the tissue, so the Diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) technique is due to the sensitivity to the movement and release of water molecules Can show this restrict...
متن کاملEvaluation the FLAIR Sensitivity and DWI Post-inject in Comparison with Delayed Enhancement T1w for Better Detection of Active MS Lesions
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, typically progressive and most common autoimmune disease which damaged the central nervous system. According to the reports in 2008, this disorder has affected 2 and 2.5 million people globally. While the reason is not clear, proposed causes for this include immunologic, environmental, infectious and genetic factors, and sexuality. MS can cause ...
متن کاملAutomatic identification and segmentation of infarct lesions from diffusion weighted MR images and ADC maps
Introduction There has been considerable interest in the use of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) to detect the site and size of ischemic lesions in acute stroke patients [1, 2]. This information assists in classifying the stroke age and may also be useful in predicting the clinical outcome [3]. The measurement of infarct volume has an important role to play in: (a) decision-making in acute stro...
متن کاملEarly detection of global cerebral anoxia: improved accuracy by high-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging with long echo time.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early and accurate detection of global cerebral anoxia is important for determination of prognosis and further management. We evaluated whether accuracy in early detection of global cerebral anoxia was improved by high-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with long echo time (TE). METHODS Routine DWI (b = 1000 s/mm(2); TE = 139 ms), high-b-value DWI (b = 3000 s/mm(2...
