Diffusion
tensor imaging allowed accurately measuring ADC, which is very essential for
stroke studies. We sought to establish feasibilities of EPI-version DTI of
mouse brain after brief ischemia at 14T. The nearly artifact free DTI images
allowed accurately measuring ADC maps and help localizing ischemic core more
precisely when no abnormal T2 contrast expressed.
