Assessment of veins in T2*-weighted MR angiography predicts infarct growth in hyperacute ischemic stroke.

Assessment of veins in T2*-weighted MR angiography predicts infarct growth in hyperacute ischemic stroke.

T2*-weighted magnetic resonance angiography (SWAN) detects hemodynamic insufficiency as hypointense areas in medullary or cortical veins. We therefore investigated whether SWAN can help predict ischemic penumbra-like lesions in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Magnetic resonance imaging (MR...
