[Abstract] Objective: To assess and quantify the ischemic onset time window of middle cerebral artery infarction hyperacute stroke of MCAO rat model at 7.0 T MRI diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and by proton magnetic resonance spectrum (1H MRS).Materials and Methods: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and conventional T2WI were employed on 10 cases of MCAO rat model in measuring the average ADC lesion at different time periods. Quantification of local changes in the concentrations of metabolites within the lesions at different time zones was performed using magnetic resonance spectrum.Results: High signal area appeared half an hour after occlusion in DWI (100%). No abnormal signal was observed in 6 hours with general T2WI. 1H MRS display was consistent with elevated lactate (Lac) and reduced n-acetyl aspartic acid salt (NAA). Glutamate and taurine reached a maximum in rats 2 h after MCAO but began to decrease 3 h after MCAO.Conclusions: Hyperacute cerebral infarction can be pointed out with the application of T2WI, DWI and 1H MRS. These methods may also be used to assess quantitatively the ischemic onset time of a hyperacute stroke.
