DWI intensity values predict FLAIR lesions in acute ischemic stroke.

DWI intensity values predict FLAIR lesions in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In acute stroke, the DWI-FLAIR mismatch allows for the allocation of patients to the thrombolysis window (<4.5 hours). FLAIR-lesions, however, may be challenging to assess. In comparison, DWI may be a useful bio-marker owing to high lesion contrast. We investigated the per...
