Our aim was to evaluate the association between magnetisation transfer imaging
(MTI) parameters measured 30 to 45 days after a cerebrovascular insult and
post-stroke functional outcome at the same time. MTI offers the opportunity to
depict subtle microstructural changes in infarcted areas. The clinical
significance of the heterogeneity of brain damage within ischaemic stroke lesions
is unknown. We prospectively included 58 patients with acute middle cerebral
artery stroke. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed within 12 hours after
onset and the final infarct was documented by MRI with fluid-attenuated inversion
recovery (FLAIR) and MTI at 30 to 45 days follow-up. We evaluated the association
between MTI histogram parameters and the clinical outcome assessed by
dichotomised (threshold >2) modified rankin scale (mRS) using multivariable
logistic regression models adjusted on baseline characteristics. In multivariable
analyses, stroke outcome was mostly driven by initial National Institutes of
Health Stroke Scale (odds ratio [OR]=1.23; 95% confidence interval
[CI]=1.07-1.41; p
