If untreated, the lesion seen with DWI typically enlarges over hours to days and will progress to infarction.
DWI (Fig.
The appeal of MRI methods is that, whereas the standard CT examination of acute ischemic stroke will typically appear normal in the first hours after stroke onset, the methods of magnetic resonance angiography, perfusion weighted imaging (PWI), and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) provide information on arterial patency, tissue blood flow, and parenchymal injury from the earliest times after onset of ischemic symptoms in a brief, non-invasive examination.
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).
The volume of ischemic tissue seen with PWI, in the majority of cases, is greater than the region of parenchymal injury evident on DWI, and this diffusion-perfusion mismatch is considered to be a marker of the ischemic penumbra (Fig.
