Prediction of poor outcome after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury by diffusion-weighted imaging: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Accurate prediction of the neurological outcome following hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) remains difficult. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can detect acute and subacute brain abnormalities following global cerebral hypoxia. Therefore, DWI can be used to predict the outcomes of HIBI. To this...
