DWI), and 10 patients(22 7%)without (PWI=DWI) The remaining 11 patients (25 0%) who were diagnosed as having TIAs The mismatch tissue of MTT and DWI had statistical significance in definiting penumbra, P 0 05 DWI was normal or presenting dot or snip high signal in TIAs patients Conclusions Application of PWI and DWI is helpful in detecting penumbra and guiding thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke By combining DWI with clinical symptoms, TIA should be excluded Hence, it might save the poor outcome from blind thrombolysis and huge consumptions on economic and human resources
