Abstract:Short diffusion time oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) showed less water diffusion reduction in acute human stroke lesions (n=28) than the typical clinically used long diffusion time pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) method. The diffusion time dependency is far greater in ischemic lesions, particularly white matter, than in contralateral healthy brain. These effects were heterogeneous across the lesion with larger OGSE-PGSE differences in regions indicative of larger axons. The range of MD decrease in lesio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
