A significant amount of strokes are reported to be diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) negative in acute imaging. We attempted to quantify the rate of false-negative high-resolution (hr) DWI and to identify a valid screening tool to guide follow-up MRI to diagnose infarction initially not visible on hrDWI.
