Twenty rats underwent stroke (transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAo) and 12 sham surgery. At Day8, MCAo rats received an intravenous injection of either cell suspension medium (n=10) or of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs, n=10). ADC was mapped at 7T from Day3 to Day16. ADC changes were assessed by parametric response map (PRM), a voxel-based analysis. PRM showed that the fraction of the lesion with decreased ADC was significantly higher in MCAo-PBS than MCAo-hMSC at Day9, suggesting that hMSCs decreased the post-ischemic cellular edema. This difference revealed by PRM, was masked by mean-value comparisons.
