Putative changes of metabolite T2 relaxation times were investigated before and after a 20-min period of global ischemia in rat brain in vivo (n = 10) using localized proton MRS at different echo times (2.35 T). Neither absolute T2 relaxation times (TE = 20-270 ms) nor time courses of T2-weighted me

## Abstract The ability of on‐resonance __T__~1ρ~ (__T__~1ρ~) and off‐resonance __T__~1ρ~ (__T__) measurements to indicate acute cerebral ischemia in a rat model of transient middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion was investigated at 4.7 T. __T__~1ρ~ was determined with __B__~1~ fields of 0.4, 0.8,
## Abstract The sensitivity of diffusion‐weighted MRI was compared to that of T2‐weighted MRI following temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCA‐0) for 33 min followed by 4 h of reperfusion in rats. Diffusion‐weighted spin‐echo images using strong gradients (__b__ value of 1413 s/mm^2^) demo
