In acute ischemic stroke, white matter (WM) is considered more resistant to infarction than gray matter (GM). To test this hypothesis, we compared the fate of WM and GM voxels belonging to the acute diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion, expecting WM voxels to be more prone to reversal after thrombolysis.
