The study aimed to evaluate the significance of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging in the early diagnosis of pyramidal tract Wallerian degeneration (WD) following cerebral infarction. This study included 25 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 12 healthy adult controls. Our data suggested that the value of APTw was significantly increased on ipsilateral compared to contralateral and the control group in the posterior limb of internal capsule. It proves the feasibility of APTw in early detection of WD.
