Diffusion-Weighted MRI in Acute Subcortical Infarction Stroke 29:133-136, Singer,M.B.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The accuracy of DW MRI for acute subcortical infarction was 94.6%.In 4 of 39 cases,the acute infarction was not detected on a conventional MRI.In 24 of 39 cases,conventional MRI showed the acute lesion as well as multiple other subcortical lesions.In each of these 24 cases,the DW MRI showed a single lesion to be acute and in all 24 cases,that lesion corresponded to the patients'acute symptoms.DW MRI has very high accuracy for acute subcortical infarction and can differentiate acute from nonacute lesions. These data have significant implications in guiding patient management and patient selection for clinical trials.
