MRI Features of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Within 2 Hours from Symptom Onset Stroke 30:2263-2267, Linfante,I.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract ICH was identified in all patients. Distinctive patterns of hyperacute ICH and absence of signs of ischemic stroke were the hallmark features of this diagnosis. The hyperacute hematoma appears to be composed of 3 distinct areas: (1) cente r: isointense to hyperintense heterogeneous signal on susceptibility-weighted and T2-weighted imaging; (2) periphery: hypointense (susceptibility effect) on susceptibility-weighted and T2-weighted imaging; and (3) rim: hypointense on T1-weighted imaging a nd hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, representing vasogenic edema encasing the hematoma. MRI is able to detect hyperacute ICH and show a pattern of evolution of the hematoma within 2 hours of from the onset of symptoms.
