- Microinfarcts in the Deep Gray Matter on 7T MRI: Risk Factors, MRI Correlates, and Relation to Cognitive Functioning—The SMART-MR Study
Microinfarcts in the deep gray matter on 7T MR imaging were associated with worse cognitive functioning and risk factors and MR imaging markers of small-vessel and large-vessel disease. These findings suggest that microinfarcts in the deep gray matter may represent a novel imaging marker of vascular brain injury.
- ADC Level is Related to DWI Reversal in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In acute ischemic stroke, the ADC value is independently associated with DWI reversal. Lesions with a mean ADC of ≥ 520 x 10-6 mm2/s are salvageable by mechanical thrombectomy, and DWI reversal areas regain neurologic function. The ADC value is easily assessed and is a useful tool to predict viable lesions.
