Quantitative T2'-Mapping in Acute Ischemic Stroke [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions—
Motion-corrected T2'-mapping reveals significant and gradually declining values from healthy to perfusion-disturbed to apparent diffusion coefficient-restricted tissue. Current T2'-mapping can differentiate between the ischemic core and the perfusion-impaired areas but not on its own between penumbral and oligemic tissue.
