Ability of the number of territories involved on dwi-mri to predict occult systemic malignancy in cryptogenic stroke patients

Lesions in multiple arterial territories is one of the typical features of malignancy patients with cryptogenic stroke. Hence, if patients with cryptogenic stroke display such feature, occult cancer could be predicted. The study aimed to analyze the predictive ability of the number of territories involved on DWI-MRI for occult systemic malignancy (OSM) in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
