MRI Brain with DWI (Diffusion)

MRI Brain with DWI (Diffusion)

MRI brain with DWI (Diffusion-Weighted Imaging) is a specialized MRI technique that measures the movement of water molecules within tissues. It's particularly helpful in detecting strokes, tumors, and other brain abnormalities by identifying areas with restricted diffusion, often indicating areas of tissue damage. DWI is sensitive to changes in water movement within the brain, making it a valuable tool for early stroke detection and assessment of other conditions. 

Clinical applications:

Stroke: DWI is highly sensitive in detecting acute ischemic stroke, even in the early stages. 

Tumors: DWI can help differentiate between benign and malignant tumors and assess their aggressiveness. 

Other conditions: DWI is also used to evaluate other brain conditions like infections, demyelination, and neurometabolic disorders.
