Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is very sensitive
in detecting blood products and showing
blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal changes
presumably from different concentrations of deoxygenated
blood. Therefore, we hypothesize that SWI could provide
oxygen metabolic information in relation to perfusion in
patients with acute ischemic stroke. In our study, we
compared area percentages of increased BOLD signal (IBS)
in ROIs of restricted diffusion and perfusion defect.
The results suggested a positive correlation between
perfusion and IBS, a finding contradicting the
implication of IBS as miserable perfusion and indicating
a mismatch between perfusion and oxygen metabolism.
