Apparent diffusion coefficient is a highly sensitive
marker for ischemic insult, but lacks desired
specificity in distinguishing salvageable versus
non-salvageable tissue. There is an ever urgent need to
define ADC threshold correlates of cerebral blood flow
(CBF) and tissue deoxygenation in ischemia. This study
incorporated simultaneous tPO2 measurement with
interleaved perfusion and diffusion MRI at high temporal
resolution to measure patterns of ADC changes in
correlation to CBF and tPO2 response immediately
following global cerebral ischemia.
