Associations between diffusion and perfusion parameters, N-acetyl aspartate, and lactate in acute ischemic stroke.

Associations between diffusion and perfusion parameters, N-acetyl aspartate, and lactate in acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In acute ischemic stroke, the amount of neuronal damage in hyperintense areas on MR diffusion imaging (DWI) is unclear. We used spectroscopic imaging to measure N-acetyl aspartate (NAA, a marker of normal neurons) and lactate (a marker of ischemia) to compare with diffusion...
