How can you use “dwi” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
If untreated, the lesion seen with DWI typically enlarges over hours to days and will progress to infarction.
Requiring a positive diagnosis of acute ischemic injury by DWI would ideally assure that no patients with diagnoses mimicking stroke are included in the sample, a desirable objective unachievable in trials using bedside impression and normal CT as the basis of inclusion.
Confirmation of the validity of many of these features of DWI and PWI in acute stroke has recently come from the first prospective multicenter stroke trial using MRI as an inclusion and primary outcome measure, the citicoline MRI stroke trial [ 29].
The simplest use as an inclusion criterion would include the presence of a lesion on DWI to increase the diagnostic certainty of ischemic stroke.
Acute lesion volumes by DWI in 100 patients correlated significantly with acute clinical severity on NIH stroke scale scores ( r = 0.64) and with chronic lesion volume ( r = 0.79); the chronic lesion volume by T2-weighted MRI significantly correlated with chronic NIH stroke scale score ( r = 0.63).
