Neonatal Hypoxic-Ishcemic Encephalopathy: Detection with Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging
AJNR 21:1490-1496, Forbes,K.P.N. et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Diffusion-weighted imaging, performed with the technical parameters in this study, may have a lower correlation with clinical evidence of HIE than does conventional MR imaging. The sensitivity of diffusion-weighted imaging in detecting neonatal HIE appears to be affected by the pattern of ischemic damage, with a lower sensitivity if the deep gray matter is affected as compared with isolated cerebral cortex involvement.
