    Graph compares the probability of lesion detection for the subgroup of 41 patients with evidence of subacute ischemic damage on any of the MR sequences used, including contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The first and second columns indicate the percentage of patients with a subacute lesion on T2-weighted sequences without and with knowledge of the patients' symptoms. The third column shows the relative sensitivity of DWI without clinical information

    80-year-old patient with left hemiparesis and ataxia.

    A–C, DWI (TR/TEdiff/TE = approximately 1500/115/18; 2 RR intervals) study (A) clearly shows multiple recent small ischemic lesions in the right centrum semiovale. These lesions are less visible on FLAIR image (6000/130/2, TI = 1900) (B) and T2-weighted-FSE image (2900/120/1) (C) and could not be identified as areas of subacute infarction on these sequences.

    fig 3.

    63-year-old patient with right hemiparesis.

    A–L, Three days after stroke, DWI studies (approximately 1500/115/18; 2 RR intervals) (A–C) show two more clinically unexpected ischemic lesions in the cerebellum (A, B), suggestive of embolism. These two lesions would not have been definitively labeled as subacute on FLAIR (D–F) (6000/130/2, TI = 1900) or T2-weighted (2500/90/1) (G–I) sequences, especially in the presence of negative findings on contrast-enhanced images (556/14/2) (J–L).

    A–D, Multiple tiny cortico-subcortical lesions in the right motor region on DWI (approximately 1500/115/18; 2 RR intervals) study (A) confirm the ischemic origin of mild hemiparesis 4 days after stroke. These changes might have gone undetected on T2-weighted FSE (2900/120/1) (B), FLAIR (6000/130/2, TI = 1900) (C), or contrast-enhanced (588/14/2) (D) images

    63-year-old patient with preexisting ischemic lesions.

    A–D, Mild hemiparesis is well seen on FSE (2900/120/1) (A) and FLAIR (6000/130/2, TI = 1900) (B) sequences. DWI (approximately 1500/115/18; 2 RR intervals) sequence (C) depicts the area of recent ischemic damage 7 days after stroke. Contrast-enhanced MR image (588/14/2) (D) remains negative.
