Figure. Association Between Neurologist’s Assessment of Results of the Neurologic Examination and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Figure.

This assessment was completed prior to the MRI scan. The presence of neurologic findings and suspicion of a stroke was associated with having a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)–positive lesion detected on an MRI scan. However, a substantial portion of patients with normal examination results or abnormal examination results with another explanation also had a DWI-positive lesion detected on an MRI scan.
