Abstract
We present T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images of kainic acid lesions in the rat brain. Our observations show improved image contrast between edematous lesions and unaffected tissue using diffusion-weighted imaging. Furthermore, we show that the anisotropic intensity changes associated with this sequence can be used to highlight white matter tracts and to provide information concerning their orientation in the rat brain. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.Keywords
