The patient was a 61-year-old male with subacute cerebral infarction in the left basal ganglia and the frontal lobe; the favorable outcome for day 90 mRS score is 2 (a–c). a Axial DWI (b = 1000) shows an obvious uniform hyperintense area (red), the infarct volume was 58.81 ml. b The ADC map shows an hypointense area within the diffusion-restricted region (red). c ADC histogram, the abscissa is the ADC value, and the ordinate is the pixel value.
