The study investigates the relationship between brain diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) patterns and clinical outcomes in patients who experienced cardiac arrest, reviewing data from 38 adult patients.
The most prevalent DWI pattern observed was classified as "normal," while various levels of restricted diffusion were also noted, which correlated moderately with worse clinical outcomes.
The findings suggest that a straightforward visual classification system of DWI/ADC maps could be a useful tool for predicting patient prognosis following cardiac arrest.

- Carina Wei-Yee Yang's research primarily focuses on the correlation between brain imaging techniques, specifically diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping, and clinical outcomes in post-cardiac arrest patients.
- In her 2019 study published in the Journal of Neuroimaging, Yang analyzed data from thirty-eight adult patients who experienced cardiac arrest, aiming to establish predictive markers for clinical recovery based on imaging findings.
- The findings suggest that specific patterns in DWI and ADC may serve as indicators for potential patient outcomes following cardiac arrest, contributing to advancements in post-resuscitation care strategies.
