Figure 1

At day 2 in this animal, T2 elevation usually associated with edema was not apparent in the infarct zone (39.2 ms vs 39.1 ms contrl); however DWT was increased by 34% suggesting edematous swelling. Lower T2* (arrows) indicated presence of hemorrhage (18.5 ms vs 34.2 ms whle the CE image showed a large MVO. At Week 1, T2 was elevated in most of the infarct (51.1 ms) with reduced T2* (20.5 ms) indicating diffuse hemorrhagic by-products. CE imge showed only a slight MVO. By week 4, hemorrhage/MVO were resolved.
