Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic ability of fusion images of SWI and DWI in ischemic penumbra(IP)of patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods 47 AIS patients were retrospective analyzed.Two neuroradiologists analyzed the fusion images of SWI and DWI respectively.SDM was defined as that the hypo-intensity signals of intramedullary or sulcal veins were dilated or increased on fusion images compared with contralateral areas.The results compared with the PDM,which was considered as the“gold standard”.Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)were used to assess the efficacy of SDM which determined by fusion images and compared to PDM.Chi-square test was used to analyze the consistency between the two neuroradiologists and also the consistency between SDM and PDM in IP assessment Results The fusion images of SWI and DWI had a high diagnostic efficacy compared to PDM, AUC of the two radiologists were 0.885,0.877,the diagnostic sensitivity were 84.2%,78.9% and specificity were 92.9%,96.4%respectively.There was also a high consistency in SDM assessment through fusion images between the two neuroradiologists (Kappa=0.908,P >0.05). Conclusion Fusion images of SWI and DWI have a high diagnostic efficacy in IP assessment,which may be considered as a simple approach for IP assessment in patients with AIS.
