Case 6. A, Axial noncontrast CT scan demonstrates nonspecific peripheral hypoattenuation (arrow). B, Axial T2 MR image demonstrates cortical and subcortical hyperintensity (arrow) without appreciable hemorrhage. C, B = 1000 DWI MR image reveals multifocal cortical and subcortical hyperintensities (arrows). D, The corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient map demonstrates hypointensities in a similar distribution (arrows), consistent with infarction. E and F, GRE MR image reveals subtle blooming from petechial hemorrhage (E, arrow), better demonstrated on the SWI MR image (F, arrow).

Case 12. A, B = 1000 DWI MR image reveals multifocal cortical and subcortical hyperintensities (arrows). B, The corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient map demonstrates hypointensities in a similar distribution (arrows), consistent with infarction. C, GRE MR image reveals petechial hemorrhage (arrow) in a similar distribution.

Cases 4 and 8. Axial noncontrast CT scans demonstrate peripheral hemorrhagic infarctions (arrows) in 2 patients with DIC.
