Use of FLAIR Imaging to Identify Onset Time of Cerebral Ischemia in a Canine Model

Abstract

The relative FLAIR and DWI-FLAIR mismatch values were useful in predicting the onset time in our canine embolic stroke model. The degree of DWI-FLAIR mismatch proposed in our study could be a good indicator with high sensitivity for identifying the hyperacute ischemic stroke.
