Progress of Multimodality Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ischemic Penumbra
Acute cerebral infarction is one of the most common diseases that impair the health of Chinese residents.With the continuous development of magnetic resonance technology,multimodal magnetic resonance sequences including magnetic resonance angiography(MRA),magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI),magnetic resonance fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequence(FLAIR),magnetic resonance arterial spin labeling imaging(ASL),etc.,have been gradually applied in the diagnosis of acute cerebrovascular diseases.As the key to the early diagnosis and treatment of acute cerebral infarction,ischemic penumbra is of great significance in saving the brain function of patients.Therefore,the early diagnosis of ischemic penumbra by multimodal magnetic resonance has attracted more and more clinical attention.This article reviews the application of multimodal magnetic resonance in ischemic penumbra.
