Synopsis
This study characterises microstructural changes in stroke lesions using NODDI and WMTI, two advanced diffusion MRI techniques, and compares their ability to detect WM alterations on the ipsi-lesional and contralesional sides of 12 patients scanned 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after onset. Region-of-interest analysis showed that ODI and FWF from NODDI were significantly altered at the lesion. Significant changes were also found in the WMTI parameters of several ipsi-lesional white matter tracts. Our prospective analysis suggests that the application of enhanced dMRI methods such as NODDI and WMTI can help to further comprehend the biophysical mechanism behind ischemia.
