Abstract
We present T2โweighted and diffusionโweighted images of kainic acid lesions in the rat brain. Our observations show improved image contrast between edematous lesions and unaffected tissue using diffusionโweighted imaging. Furthermore, we show that the anisotropic intensity changes associated with this sequence can be used to highlight white matter tracts and to provide information concerning their orientation in the rat brain. ยฉ 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract Perinatal hypoxia is a major cause of neurodevelopmental deficits. Neuronal migration patterns are particularly sensitive to perinatal hypoxia/ischemia and are associated with the clinical deficits. The rat model of hypoxia/ischemia at P7 mimics that of perinatal injury in humans. Befor
## Purpose: To investigate the development of ischemic brain lesions, as present in the acute stroke phase, by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dwi), and in the subacute and chronic phases until up to four months after stroke, in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (flair)- and t2-wei
In this report, we have presented a diabetic patient with uremia, in which acute Parkinsonism occurred, coupled with acute mental confusion, after a sudden increase in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinin levels. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a unique cytotoxic-type edema
