Identification of Embolic Stroke Patterns by Diffusion-Weighted MRI in Clinically Defined Lacunar Stroke Syndromes Stroke 36:757-761, Wessels,T.,et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The use of DWI-MRI improves the accuracy of the subtype diagnosis of stroke. Inaccuracy has to be expected in approximately one third if lacunar diagnosis is based on clinical and computed tomography findings. Most of these false-positive cases are attributable to large artery or cardiogenic embolic stroke.
