[Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging in multiple cerebral infarction]

F Segawa, K Kamada, J Kishibayashi

    Rinsho Shinkeigaku = Clinical Neurology
    |April 1, 1993
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) effectively distinguishes acute from chronic cerebral infarction lesions. Acute lesions show low signal on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, aiding early diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Multiple cerebral infarctions present diagnostic challenges in differentiating acute from chronic lesions.
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for evaluating brain tissue changes.

    Observation:

    • T2-weighted MRI showed both acute and chronic lesions as high signal areas.
    • Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) clearly identified acute lesions as high signal areas.
    • Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping revealed acute lesions as low signal areas.

    Findings:

    • Acute lesions had lower diffusion coefficients than normal white matter.
    • Chronic lesions exhibited higher diffusion coefficients than normal white matter.
    • DWI and ADC mapping distinguished acute from chronic lesions during the acute stage.

    Implications:

    • DWI and ADC mapping are valuable tools for early and accurate diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction.
    • Understanding diffusion coefficient changes over time aids in lesion characterization.
    • This technique improves the management of patients with multiple cerebral infarctions.
