ischemia were involved in the study. Apparent diffusion coefficient values are measured
at &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;4mm, &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;8mm &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;and 12 &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;mm away from the outer boundary of &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;ischemia
and these &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;apparent diffusion coefficient measurements &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;were compared with symmetrical &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; non-ischemic hemisphere &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span style="line-height:115%;"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0cm 5.3pt 3pt 8.55pt;line-height:115%;"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span style="line-height:115%;"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Results: &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span style="line-height:115%;"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span style="line-height:115%;"&amp;gt;The apparent diffusion

significantly lower than the apparent diffusion coefficient measurements obtained from
symmetric non-ischemic hemisphere. The measurements obtained 12 mm away from
the outer boundary were not statistically different from symmetric non-ischemic
hemisphere. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span style="line-height:115%;"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Conclusion: &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The apparent diffusion
coefficient values seem to be normalised at 12 mm away from &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;the outer boundary of &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;span class="hps"&amp;gt;ischemia &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;, which should be
analysed with perfusion weighted studies in order to verify how these
measurements can reflect the penumbra tissue. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;}, number={2}, publisher={Kırıkkale Üniversitesi}
