Abstract

Teaching Points: • DWI includes EPI, TSE, RESOLVE or EPI combined with reduced volume excitation. • DWI is the most sensitive sequence in stroke diagnosis and provides information about prognosis. • DWI helps in the detection of intramural haematomas (arterial dissection). • In diffusion imaging, ADC is inversely proportional to tumour cellularity. • DWI and DTI derived parameters can be used as biomarkers in different pathologies.
