As MRI can accurately diagnose both hemorrhage and ischemia, it may become the modality of choice in this scenario. This paper focuses on the MR appearance of acute ischemic infarction, hemorrhage, and MR angiography of the head and neck as it would appear on both a conventional MR imager and on the newer, echo planar imaging (EPI) systems.Thursday, 21 Sep 2000 15:24:31 GMT
