3. Diffusion & perfusion imaging

The diffusion weighted images makes it possible to detect stroke earlier than by using conventional MR imaging.

Perfusion imaging help to visualise blood flow through the capillary system with the help of intravenous contrast administration and it provides haemodynamic information on disease involving alteration of the microvascular structures
