FIG 2. Area of detail on T2-weighted images examined 3 days after onset (A and B) demonstrate anatomic structures, such as the anterior nucleus (An), caudate nucleus (Cd), dorsomedial nucleus (DM), globus pallidus (GP), MTT, pulvinar (P), putamen (Pt), ventral anterior nucleus (VA), ventral lateral nucleus (VL), and ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL). An infarction on the left MTT (C, upswept thick arrow) demonstrated on a DW image is identical to that on the T2-weighted image (B, upswept thick arrow) and on the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image, which was seen on a follow-up CT scan 4 weeks after onset (D, upswept thick arrow), which was the same as on MR images at admission. Older ischemic lesions were also seen in the corpus callosum on the right (A, upper descending thick arrow), on the right MTT (A, lower descending thick arrow), and in the head of the right caudate nucleus (B and D, descending thick arrow). Thick arrows show ischemic lesions, and thin arrows, MTTs.
