Changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) at 2 h after hypoxic ischemia (HI) in neonatal rats showed the significant correlation to the final lesion severity. The early ADC deficit appeared within 6 h after HI injury may serve as an index for outcome prediction and the translational evidence to stratify neonates for hypothermia treatment.
