Fig. 1B —MRI depiction of a diffusion–perfusion mismatch in
70-year-old man with right hemiparesis. Axial MR mean transit time (MTT) image
obtained at same time as A shows region of prolonged MTT (depicted in
orange) in left middle cerebral artery territory that is much larger than
diffusion-weighted abnormality seen in A. Area of mismatch, that is,
region showing abnormal MTT, but no abnormal diffusion, is usually considered
as representing ischemic penumbra or tissue at risk.
