Prediction of Stroke Outcome with Echoplanar Perfusion-and Diffusion-Weighted MRI
Neurol 51:418-426, Barber,P.A.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We examined the utility of echoplanar magnetic resonance perfusion imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)in predicting stroke evolution and outcome in 18 patients with acute hemispheric infarction.Combined early PI and DWI can define different acute infarct patterns,which may allow the selection of rational therapeutic strategies based on the presence or absence of potentially salvageable ischemic tissue.
