Diffusion Measurements in Intracranial Hematomas: Implications for MR Imaging of Acute Stroke AJNR 21:1190-1194, 1179, Atlas,S.W. et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Restricted diffusion is present in early intracranial hematomas in comparison with both late hematomas and normal white matter. Therefore, early hematomas would be displayed as identical to the signal intensity of acute infarction on ADC maps, despite obvious differences on conventional MR images. These data also are consistent with the biochemical composition that has been theorized in the stages of evolving intracranial hematomas and provide further evidence that paramagnetic effects, rather than restriction of water movement, are the dominant cause for their different intensity patterns on conventional MR images.
