To study the altered cerebrovascular tones following
focal or global cerebral ischemia, infrequently
measuring changes in T2(*)-driven relative blood volumes
have been performed. In the current study, using the
concurrent T1-T2 effects of the exogenous contrast
agent, dual contrasts acquisitions were established in
the acute phase of rat ischemia model. Co-acquisitions
of positive (T1) and negative (T2(*)) contrasts provide
complementary information on neurovascular traits such
as absolute and relative cerebral blood volume and
microvascular volume. This work may supply an important
basis for understanding the impaired cerebrovascular
changes involved with ischemic damage.
