Persistent Infarct Hyperintensity on Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Late After Stroke Indicates Heterogeneous, Delayed, Infarct Evolution Stroke 37:1418-1423, Rivers,C.S.,et al, 2006 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The late DWI lesion hyperintensity emphasizes the heterogeneity in temporal evolution of stroke injury and suggests ongoing ischemia. Lower baseline ADCr precedes delayed perfusion normalization, suggesting that worse cell swelling impeded reperfusion. Further study is required to determine underlying mechanisms and any potential for subacute intervention to improve recovery.
