Abstract

Purpose: To study the value of 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in the diagnosis of the crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) after the unilateral supratentorial acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: Seventy-four patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), arterial spin labeling (ASL), and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning were enrolled. Intravoxel incoherent motion-derived perfusion-related parameters including fast diffusion coefficient (D*), slow diffusion coefficient (D), vascular volume fraction (f), and arterial spin-labeling-derived cerebral blood flow (CBF) of bilateral cerebellum were measured.

Results: In the CCD-positive group, D*, D, and CBF values of the contralateral cerebellum decreased compared with those of the ipsilesional cerebellum (P < 0.05), whereas f significantly increased (P < 0.05). A positive correlation was detected between the slow diffusion coefficient-based asymmetry index (AI-D) and the cerebral blood flow-based asymmetry index (AI-CBF) (r = 0.515, P < 0.01), whereas the vascular volume fraction-based asymmetry index (AI-f) had a negative correlation with the cerebral blood flow-based asymmetry index (AI-CBF) (r = - 0.485, P < 0.01). Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve value of AI-D and AI-f was 0.81 and 0.76, respectively.

Conclusions: The IVIM is feasible for the detection of CCD. This technique might provide opportunities to further investigate the pathophysiology of CCD.
