[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of visual imaging in ischemic stroke using multiple b-value diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MR-DWI), that is aquaporins (AQPs) magnetic resonance molecular imaging.Materials and Methods: A total of 25 Sprague- Dawley rats were underwent transient cerebral ischemic for one hour by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Then, the rats were quinquesected randomly into 5 groups: 1, 3, 6, 24, 48 h. Magnetic resonance imaging were performed for all of the 5 groups, containing T2-FLAIR, DWI and AQP-MRI (18b value DWI) scanning series. Relative areas of the lesions were measured for all of the imagings. The areas of AQP-MRI/T2-FLAIR mismatch were compared with that of DWI/T2-FLAIR mismatch. The correlations between MR imagings and TTC staining were analyzed.Results: The location and the range of the lesions, and severity of infarctions were clearly displayed by AQP-MRI. AQP-MRI/T2-FLAIR mismatch showed ischemic penumbra within 24 hours. The result showed that the area of AQP-MRI/T2-FLAIR mismatch was larger than that of DWI/T2-FLAIR mismatch within 24 hours, there was significant difference between them (P<0.01). The aquaporin-apparent diffusivity coefficient (AQP-ADC) values of peripheral to the penumbra in the ipsilateral areas were much higher than that of in the contralateral areas (P<0.05). The microscopic differences between the basal ganglia and ipsilateral distal cortex could be displayed visually in AQP-MR pseudo-color images (P <0.01). There were no significant differences between TTC staining and AQP-MRI, DWI, T2-FLAIR results (P>0.05), and there were significant correlations between them (r=0.903,P=0.004; r=0.935, P=0.02; r=0.872, P=0.054).Conclusions: As a new molecular imaging technology, AQP-MRI dynamic visualized ischemic stroke with multi-layer, multi-angle and more accurately. AQP-MRI had a wide range of potential applications in the diagnosis of ischemic stroke.
