Article: Data on ischemia reported by researchers at University of Hong Kong.

In this recent study, researchers in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China conducted a study "To investigate hepatic ischemia reperfusion Injury (IRI) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Ten Sprague-Dawley rats were scanned at 7 Tesla M with DTI using b-value of 1000 s/mm(2) and 6 gradient directions before, 2 h, and 1 day after 30-min total hepatic IRI."

"Apparent diffusion coefficient or mean diffusivity (MD). directional diffusivities and fractional anisotropy (FA) were measured. Seven of the animals were also examined with spin-echo echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with seven b-values up to 2000 s/mm(2) to estimate the true diffusion coefficient ...
