We evaluated the pharmacologically induced hypothermia
treatment response in focal cerebral ischemia induced
brain injury in a mice model using DTI. Results
indicated that significantly lower infraction volume in
the treatment group than control group. Less reduction
of ADC values were found in the hypothermia treatment
group. Our results support the use of DTI as a biomarker
to non-invasively monitor the hypothermia treatment
response in ischemia induced brain injury.
