Patients with cerebral infarction and with suspicion of cerebral infarction were studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlative CT scans. MRI was more sensitive than CT for detecting cerebral infarction, and T2-weighted spin echo pulse sequence was most sensitive in the diagnosis of cerebral infarction except some lacunar infarctions and some cortical and subcortical infarctions. MRI using Gd-DTPA was more sensitive than contrast CT for detecting fresh infarcted areas, especially in the cases with multiple cerebral infarcted areas and cortical and subcortical infarcted areas, and many offer some informations in evaluating the state of circulation.
