Diffusion-weighted MRI of ischemic stroke at 3T: Value of synthetic b-values.

CONCLUSION: Synthetic images at b = 1000 and 1500 s mm-2 and acquired DWI images at b = 2000 s mm-2 may be of clinical value due to improved lesion conspicuity.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Synthetic b-values enable improved lesion conspicuity for DWI of ischemic stroke.
