FIG 3. Acute cerebral infarction of the right corona radiata with moderate-severe left hemiparesis.

A, T2-weighted echo-planar image (b = 0) shows an oval hyperintense lesion involving the right corona radiata.

B, Apparent diffusion coefficient image shows a decreased diffusion coefficient in the lesion.

C, In the A_SD image, the diffusion anisotropy is also reduced.

D, T2-weighted echo-planar image (10000/98 [TR/TE_eff]) that includes the internal capsule shows no involvement of the right internal capsule, although high intensity spotty lesions were noted in the bilateral lentiform nuclei.

E, Apparent diffusion coefficient image of the same section as that shown in D shows no definite abnormality in the internal capsule.

F, A_SD image shows decreased diffusion anisotropy in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule as compared with the left side.
