Temporal evolution and spatial distribution of quantitative T2 MRI following acute ischemia reperfusion injury

Determining mechanisms of secondary stroke injury related to cerebral blood flow and the severity of microvascular injury contributing to edema and blood-brain barrier breakdown will be critical for the development of adjuvant therapies for revascularization treatment.To characterize the heterogeneity of the ischemic lesion using quantitative T2 imaging along with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) within five hours of...
