Different apparent diffusion coefficient: water content correlations of gray and white matter during early ischemia

Stroke; a Journal of Cerebral Circulation

Abstract

Early and accurate diagnosis of brain edema in stroke patients is essential for the selection of appropriate treatment. We examined the correlations between the changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), regional water content, and tissue ultrastructure during early focal cerebral ischemia. The left middle cerebral arteries of cats were occluded with an intramagnet occlusion/recirculation device. T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and perfusion imaging were performed repeatedly during the initial 3 hours after occlusion. The ADCs obtained from ADC maps were compared with the corresponding tissue water content values determined by gravimetry and electron microscopic water localization. ADC reduction was detected in areas of low perfusion 15 minutes after occlusion and thereafter. The water content increase correlated linearly with the ADC decreases in both the gray and white matter. However, both the water content corresponding to an ADC value and the rate of ADC change of the gray and white matter differed significantly (P<.05) as follows: y = -10105x + 8533 (r=.86) and y = -6174x + 4611 (r=.67), respectively, where x is the water content (grams water per gram tissue) and y is the ADC (x 10(-6) mm2/s). Hydropic astrocyt...Continue Reading
