Study of Ischemic Stroke using Magnetic Resonance Diffusion‐Weighted Imagesin Khartoum State

Abstract

This is statistical analysis study and was conducted in five months during the period from July 2018, to November 2018 in the neurological department of Alamal National Hospital.Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Sudan.(WHO & UN, 2012)The treatment Should start within 4.5 to 48 hours if it’s not treated will cause brain damage that will lead to death. The aim of this thesis to Study of Ischemic Stroke using Magnetic Resonance Diffusion‐Weighted Images in Khartoum State,to evaluate the gender relation with ischemic stroke, to determine the most clinical findings for brain stroke,to assess the time of scan form symptoms onset. In this study we have 50 patientswell known as IschemicStroke had (56%) male to (44%) femalein range of (26 - 95) agewe used MRI machines Philips 1.5 Tesla, Data collected from findings which appear in different brain MRI,data were analysed by using Microsoft Office Excel 2016.The result taken from every one of the patients allowed to Doctors facility clinic with neurological side effects speculated ischemic stroke. On this study we found males more affected than female by(56%) male to (44%) female, most of them (54%) are (56-75)years old same result as(Noman, 2016), and most clinical findings for ischemic stroke found are aphasia (47%) and right hemiparesis (31.65%)same result as(Noman, 2016), (58%) of patients came at the first 10 hour of stroke symptoms onsetsame result as(Jun Ma, 2004), we found Middle cerebral circulation is most site of infarction by (60%)same result as(Jun Ma, 2004). And we found Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is best image for detection of ischemic stroke for all stages. We recommend in next studies to studyusing Perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) in ischemic stroke imagine ass main protocol.
