FIG 5. Temporal evolution of ffast, ADCslow (x 10–3 mm2/s), and ADCfast (x 10–3 mm3/s) in patient 8 with ischemic stroke. The maximum decrease in ffast and the maximum increase in ADCslow are observed on day 3. An initial increase in both ADCslow and ADCfast is observed on days 1 and 3. On day 5, an increase in ffast is associated with an increase in ADCfast. This could have been the consequence of rupture of the blood-brain barrier.
