Diffusion-weighted and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were investigated as a method to detect diffusion-perfusion mismatch in the early stages of vasospasm in 17 patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage after aneurysm clipping. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with N-isopropyl-p-[(123)I]iodoamphetamine was also performed. Diffusion-perfusion mismatch was clearly identified in the 3 patients who manifested clinical deterioration. Perfusion-weighted imaging showed increased mean transit time, normal cerebral blood flow, and increased or normal cerebral blood volume. SPECT revealed no earlier signs of vasospasm. Diffusion-perfusion mismatch was clearly demonstrated in the early stages of vasospasm, so may be useful for early identification of ischemia in vasospasm and initiating appropriate treatment.

Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is well known to detect ischemic brain tissue and evaluate the tissue vulnerable to infarction. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been a mainstay of stroke evaluation but has a few shortcomings, as it generally indicates only the core of ischemia and does not provide information regarding the tissue at risk or the ischemic penumbra surrounding the infarct. Perfusion imaging identifies brain tissue that has reduced blood flow as a potential target for reperfusion therapy.

Purpose: Amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging was an effective tool to reveal the tissue acidosis of acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of APTw MRI to distinguish progressive penumbra and benign oligemia in the diffusion-perfusion mismatch region.
Materials And Methods: 38 acute cerebral infarction patients who underwent a comprehensive MRI examination, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), APT imaging, and a follow-up scan in one week were recruited.

It is considered acceptable to conservatively manage coronary artery bypass grafting patients with carotid artery disease without the need for preoperative corrective carotid revascularization. However, in the present case, rapidly progressive stroke symptoms with penumbra suggested in the arterial spin labeling, carotid artery stenting was performed successfully.

Background: For prognosis of stroke, measurement of the diffusion-perfusion mismatch is a common practice for estimating tissue at risk of infarction in the absence of timely reperfusion. However, perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) adds time and expense to the acute stroke imaging workup. We explored whether a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model trained with diffusion-weighted imaging obtained at admission could predict final infarct volume and location in acute stroke patients.
