Abstract

In this paper, we analysis 3 types of magnetic resonance image for determining whether brain infarction period is hyperacute or not. If its peirod is hyperacute, we can predict brain infarction transition direction. We use EPI(Echo Planar Image) for prediction of brain infarction transition direction. EPI is a good image for detecting brain infarction because EPI can detect the moving of water in brain which play an important role in deciding method of medical treatment. We utilize characteristics of 3 type of MRI and their relation in brain infarction patient for determining brain infarction period. By this method, we obtain each period characteristics and predict brain infarction transition direction more accurately comparing past method.
