Standard Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in the Brain Can Detect Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Dissections [EXTRACRANIAL VASCULAR]

CONCLUSIONS:
In our cohort, a standard DWI sequence performed on the brain at the acute phase of a stroke or for a clinical suspicion of dissection detected nearly 90% of cervical ICA dissections.
