Abstract:Objective: To explore the possible causes and clinical values of the signal and phase variation of the draining veins in patients with acute cerebral infarction, by measuring the phase differences of the draining veins combined with the local hemodynamic changes. Methods: Twenty patients(aged 47~82 years, mean age 61 years; time of onset 7~48 hours, mean time 28 hours) with acute ischemic cerebral infarction were analyzed retrospectively. The scanning sequences included susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging(DSC-PWI). The phase differences of the veins in the infarct and contralateral areas(respectively denoted by Δφlesion and Δφnormal) were measured. The rCBF values, rrCBF values and rCBV values in the infarct and contralateral areas were measured. NIHSS scores were recorded. Results: ①The phase difference of affected side Δφlesion value=547.0±155.7(spin), the contralateral phase difference Δφnormal value=282.65±96.67(spin), Δφlesion was significantly greater than Δφnormal(t=5.861, P<0.001); ②rCBF values in the infarct area were significantly lower than that of the contralateral area(t=-8.978, P<0.001), and rCBV values in the infarct area were also lower than that of the contralateral area(P=0.008); ③There was significant positive correlation between the Δφlesion values and NIHSS scores(r=0.933, P<0.001), and there was significant positive correlation between the Δφlesion values and rrCBF values(r=0.681, P=0.001), rrCBF values had positive correlation with NIHSS scores(r=0.645, P=0.002). Conclusion: The correlation between the phase differences in the infarct area that reflected the oxygen metabolic abnormalities and CBF were consistent with the cerebral flow-metabolism coupling mechanism. The phase differences of the veins in the infarct area could be used as a reliable indicator to evaluate the clinical severity of the patients with acute infarction.
