Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of Diffuse Axonal Injury in Closed Head Injury J Comput Assist Tomogr 27:5-11, Huismna,T.A.G.M.,et al, 2003 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract DWI is valuable in closed head injury because it identifies additional shearing injuries not visible on T2/FLAIR or T2* sequences. Furthermore, DWI/ADC maps differentiate between lesions with decreased or increased diffusion. DWI is less s ensitive than T2* imaging for detecting hemorrhagic lesions.
