Recent advances in MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) enable the identification of anisotropic white matter tracts with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We aimed to use a novel DTI technique to safely study patients with recent stroke in a high field (3 T) MR machine with its intrinsically higher spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Of ten patients studied, six had disruption of white matter tracts as determined by DTI. A further patient had distortion of white matter tracts around an infarct rather than actual disruption of the tracts themselves. The lack of tract destruction may imply a beneficial prognosis, information that is not available with conventional DWI.
