Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Missed by Diffusion-Weighted Imaging AJNR 20:1871-1875, Lefkowitz,D.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Diffusion-weighted images showed more infarcts than FLAIR and FSE images, and FLAIR images showed more than FSE images, but the differences were not statistically significant. Lesion conspicuity, however, was consistently better on diffusi on-weighted images than on either FLAIR or FSE images throughout the 10-day period. Acquisition of diffusion-weighted images in the late acute and subacute periods after ischemic cerebral infarction appears to be beneficial.
