This work presents a simple, yet robust means for
identifying regions of acutely ischaemic tissue, with
minimal human intervention, from ADC mapping, and for
the assessment of that tissue based on quantitative T2
mapping in ischaemic stroke patients. Having identified
ADC lesions(s), we show using T2 mapping that within
ischaemia distinct tissue signatures with different
relaxation charateristics are separated. In particular,
whereas ADC and T2 are positively correlated in healthy
tissue, this is not the case in in the ischaemia, which
can act as a further restraint for distinguishing
between different tissue states and lesion types.
