Figure 1 Modern concept of ischemic penumbra.
Early abnormality on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) equals the infarct core plus a part of the tissue at risk (penumbra); and the perfusion deficiency on perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) includes the infarct core plus penumbra and region of benign oligemia. PWI-DWI mismatch (PDM) does not optimally define the ischemic penumbra.
