Coronal Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Does Not Improve Detection of Posterior Fossa Infarcts Compared With Conventional Axial Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Recent publications have suggested incorporating coronal diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences and axial DWI sequences to enhance the detection of posterior fossa infarcts (PFIs). This study evaluated the utility of coronal DWIs compared with axial DWIs for assessing PFIs in the emergency department (ED).
