[Abstract] Objective: To explore the significance of introvoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging in predicting the hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after revascularization and provide theoretical basis for individualized therapy.Materials and Methods: 60 patients with AIS confirmed by clinical or imaging examination were studied and all the patients were scanned with multi-b diffusion-weighted imaging (muti-b DWI) before revascularization. We used IVIM imaging technique to measure the three coefficients inclouding diffusion coefficient of pure diffusion (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) and perfusion fraction (f) in infarct value and mirror region and then we calculated the relative values of each parameter (rD, rD*, rf). Further, we performed susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) within 3 days after treatment, to observe the hemorrhagic transformation and analyze the relationship between IVIM parameters and HT after treatment in patients with AIS.Results: The D, D*, f values of the infarct area on the affected side of AIS patients before revascularization were lower than those of the contralateral mirror area, even there was a significant difference between the two sides (t=12.934, 12.234, 24.069, P<0.01). the rD, rD*, rf values of the infarct area in the HT group before treatment were lower than those in the non-HT group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (t=2.982, 3.090, 4.656, P<0.01). After taking the optimal threshold of rD 0.527, rD* 0.519 and rf 0.495, the sensitivity and the specificity were 76.9%, 73.7%; 84.6%, 78.9%; 84.6%, 89.5% respectively.Conclusions: IVIM parameters of infarct area before treatment can predict a risk of HT in patients with AIS after revascularization, even having the highest value of rf.
