The aim of this study was to assess the blood brain barrier permeability in a rat stroke model induced by a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (i.e., pMCAo) using dynamic susceptibility contrast-MRI at 48 hr. Our findings demonstrated that a leakage corrected blood volume indicated the disruption of BBB in ischemic injury at 48 hr.
