These are images demonstrating global hypoxia.
0:04
These are images of a 53 year old
0:06
male, status post cardiac arrest,
0:09
who was minimally responsive.
0:11
These are the diffusion weighted images
0:13
and the ADC maps, and you can see there's
0:16
diffusion restriction characterized
0:17
by hyper intensity on the DWI and hypo
0:20
intensity on the ADC maps in the cerebellum
0:24
and throughout the cerebral cortex.
0:27
And also involving the bilateral thalami,
0:30
the bilateral basal ganglia, including
0:33
the globus pallidus lentiform nucleus,
0:36
which is globus pallidus imputamen, the
0:38
caudate, and the entire cerebral cortex.
0:43
It's kind of a super scan, there's
0:45
too much gray white differentiation.
0:47
The patient had had a tumor resected
0:49
previously in the left temporal lobe.
0:52
I'm going to also show you the
0:54
T2 and flare weighted images.
0:58
Again, there's diffuse swelling
1:00
of the cerebellar cortex.
1:02
The cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia,
1:06
there's diffuse flare hyperintensity, there's
1:08
diffuse T2 hyperintensity, again, mild swelling.
1:13
Notice that the flow voids in the
1:18
internal carotid arteries and the
1:19
middle cerebral arteries and the
1:21
basilar artery are still patent.
1:24
So the prognosis is unclear
1:28
depending on age and other factors.
1:29
Some patients do not recover
1:32
and some patients do.
1:34
And you can also see these findings.
1:37
On coronal diffusion weighted images, diffusion
1:41
weighted images, ADC maps, again, showing
1:43
the same findings involvement of the entire
1:45
cerebellar and supratentorial cortex and
1:49
involvement of the thalami and basal ganglia.

The images can also be used in severe cases,
1:59
you'll see susceptibility throughout the.
