Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of the Brain Radiology 217:331-345, Schaefer,P.W.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides image contrast that is different from that provided bye conventional MR techniques. It is particularly sensitive for detection of acute ischemic stroke and differentiation of acute stroke from other processes that manifest with sudden neurologic deficits. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging also provides adjunctive information for other cerebral diseases including neoplasms, intracranial infections, traumatic brain injury, and demyelina ting processes. Because stroke is common and in the differential diagnosis of most acute neurologic events, diffusion-weighted MR imaging should be considered an essential sequence, and its use in most brain MR studies is recommended.
