Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Global Cerebral Anoxia
AJNR 20:999-1007, Arbelaez,A.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
During the acute period, high-strength diffusion-weighted images showed the abnormal basal ganglia, cerebellum, and cortex to a better extent than did conventional MR images. During the early subacute period, gray matter abnormalities were seen on diffusion-weighted images. During the late subacute period, diffusion-weighted images showed mostly white matter abnormalities. During the chronic stage, the results of diffusion-weighted imaging were normal. Our findings suggest that diffusion -weighted images are helpful for evaluating and dating diffuse cerebral anoxia, and therefore aid in the determination of prognosis and management of these patients.
