Is There an Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Threshold in Predicting Tissue Viability in Hyperacute Stroke? Stroke 32:2486-2491,2460, Oppenheim,C.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Rapid and precise identification of the penumbra is important for decision-making in acute stroke. WE sought to determine whether an early and moderate decrease in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) may help to identify, within the di ffusion/perfusion (DWI/PWI) mismatch, those areas that will eventually evolve toward infarction. A simple approach based on ADC alone may allow the identification of tissue at risk of infarction in acute-stroke patients.
