This study shows that MRI R2* changes reflect inflammation in disconnected brain regions after stroke, both in humans and mice, linking disconnection to iron accumulation and microglial activation.

This study identifies three infarct growth phenotypes in ischemic stroke patients based on MRI data and shows they predict 3-month clinical outcomes.

The paper shows that high b-value diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics are strongly associated with NODDI metrics in cortical gray matter, but low b-value DTI does not accurately reflect microstructure.
