Figure 1 An example of magnetic resonance images obtained from a patient with a left subcortical infarct on the first week after the onset of stroke. From axial T2 weighted images (A–F) and the coronal fluid attenuated inversion recovery image (G), the subcortical infarct involving the posterior limb of the internal capsule is observed (white arrows). Beyond the primary lesion, there is no hyperintense signal.
