In this study we characterized the stroke lesion in mice
resulting from a permanent distal MCAO. At 2, 24h and 1
week post occlusion quantitative perfusion data based on
pulsed ASL and ADC, T1 and T2 maps were recorded. Images
were analyzed using either manual delineation or a
threshold based approach with the contra-lateral cortex
as a reference region. We demonstrate that lesion
characterization via MRI in this distal MCAO mouse
stroke model is feasible thereby opening up the
possibility to non-invasively monitor stroke development
in different transgenic animal models related to for
example oxygen sensors or hypoxia.
