Abstract
Background: Acute stroke is an abrupt non‐traumatic brain insult, caused by
either brain infarction (75%) or hemorrhage (25%).
Aim of the Study: To compare the sensitivity of Diffusion ‐ weighted imaging
(DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map in detection of acute
stroke with sensitivity of conventional MRI study.
Patients &methods: Thirty ‐ eight patients (24 male and 14 female with age
range between 43‐90 years) with a clinically suggestive stroke and negative
CT‐scan, all patients referred for MRI study within 4‐40 hours [mean of 17 hrs]
of acute attack. brain MRI was performed for these patients. Starting with
conventional MRI sequences done followed by diffusion weighted in the
same study and follow up clinically afterwards. The study was conducted in
a general hospital in Baghdad from January 2012 to January 2013 .Ratios were
calculated between the apparent diffusion coefficient value of normal
appearing brain in the right & left hemispheres & between apparent diffusion
coefficient value of the ischemic area & the corresponding contralateral
region .
Results: With diffusion ‐ weighted images , 100% of the ischemic lesions
were detected, and with fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery, 73.7% were
detected, whereas with early T2‐weighted or T1‐weighted, only 52.6 % and
21% of lesions were detected , respectively , using McNemar test we found
statistically significant differences in sensitivity between Diffusion weighted
images and T1W (p
