Diffusion-Weighted MRI and Proton MR Spectroscopic Imaging in the Study of Secondary Neuronal Injury After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

DWI and (1)H-MRSI can be used in the study of ICH patients. Our preliminary data are inconsistent with ischemia as the primary mechanism for perihematoma tissue injury. Further investigation with advanced MRI techniques will give a clearer understanding of the role that ischemia plays in tissue injury after ICH.
