A, Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery axial image of the brain (TR = 9000, TE = 110, TI = 2500) demonstrates hyperintensity in the left frontal subcortical white matter. B, T1-weighted axial image after gadolinium administration (TR = 65, TE = 15) demonstrates enhancement in the left posterior frontal subcortical white matter.

Diffusion-weighted (TR = 3900, TE = 94, B = 1000, number of gradient directions = 90) imaging (A) with corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient map (B) shows restricted diffusion in the left basal ganglia extending into the deep periventricular white matter consistent with acute infarction.

View larger version (55K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Fig 3. Axial T2-weighted images of the brain (TR = 6000, TE = 125) show multiple areas of hyperintensity within the subcortical white matter parenchyma in the medial right temporal lobe (A) and posterior left frontal lobe (B). T1-weighted (TR = 635, TE = 17) gadolinium-enhanced sequences show nodular dural and pial enhancement (C).
