Proton magnetic resonance imaging in experimental cerebral ischaemia.
MRI was performed on 11 primates, 7 with a proximal and 4 with a distal MCA occlusion. Chronic implanted electrodes created only minor image disturbances. The development of oedema formation was visualised in repetitive imaging. The site of the MCA occlusion determined the infarct-size.
