磁共振扩散加权成像在超急性期脑梗死诊断中的应用

目的 评价磁共振扩散加权成像（DWI）对超急性期脑梗死诊断的准确性。方法 对卒中样起病且发病时间在6h以内、临床高度怀疑脑梗死的21例患者进行DWI和常规MRI扫描。结果 DWI诊断脑死16例，其最终临床诊断均为急性脑梗死，DWI阴性5例，其最终临床诊断为短暂性脑缺血发作；DWI所见高信号区域的同一部位在以后的CT和（或）MRI随访中均有脑梗死病灶；DWI诊断超急性期脑梗死的敏感度和特异度均为100％，常规MRI诊断超急性期脑梗死的敏感度为25％，特异度为100％。结论 DWI对超急性期脑梗死的诊断高度准确，其敏感度明显高于常规MRI。

Application of MR diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral infarction

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral infarction. Methods Twenty one patients with onset of strokelike symptoms underwent conventional MRI and DWI within 6 hours. Results DWI indicated cerebral infarction in 16 patients, all of whom had a final diagnosis of acute stroke. DWI was negative in 5 patients, all of whom had a final diagnosis of TIA. The abnormality seen at DWI was confirmed with follow up study. DWI had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100% in the diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral infarction, and conventional MRI interpretation yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 25% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion DWI is highly accurate in diagnosing hyperacute cerebral infarction and is superior to conventional MRI.
