Abstract

Abstract : This study aimed to investigate the differential diagnosis value of routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in hyperacute intracranial hemorrhage (HICH) and hyperacute cerebral infarction (HCI). Fifty-five patients with HICH were set as group A, and 55 patients with HCI were selected as group B. All the patients underwent routine MRI and DWI examinations. The morphological distribution and signal characteristics (low, high, or mixed) of the lesions in the two groups were recorded. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of routine MRI and DWI were compared for distinguishing HICH and HCI. The results suggested that the lesions in patients with HICH were mainly manifested as mixed signals (40 cases), while those in patients with HCI showed high signals (48 cases). HICH occurred in the basal ganglia in 44 cases, in the brain stem in 6 cases, in the cerebellum in 4 cases, in the cerebral cortex in 0 cases, and in the corpus callosum in 1 case. HCI occurred in the basal ganglia area, brain stem, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and corpus callosum in 5, 3, 35, 12, and 0 cases, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of DWI for HICH and HCI were significantly higher than those of routine MRI P < 0.05 . It was indicated that compared with routine MRI, DWI was more effective in the diagnosis of HICH and HCI, with clearer and more accurate images and better diagnostic performance.
