Fig 1. Sequential T2-weighted (A), Gd-enhanced T1-weighted (B), diffusion-weighted (C), and ADC map (D) images at 30 minutes (first column), 2 hours (second column), 4 hours (third column), and 6 hours (fourth column) after triolein emulsion infusion in cat 320. T2 hyperintensity (A) is shown at 30 minutes, extends into the subcortical white matter at 2 hours, is maximal in size and intensity at 4 hours, and decreases thereafter. Lesion enhancement on Gd-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (B) is revealed from 30 minutes, increases at 2 hours, and decreases thereafter. Diffusion-weighted images (C) show mild hyperintensity at 2, 4, and 6 hours. ADC map images (D) all reveal isointensity over time.
