The presence of diabetes increases the risk and severity
of stroke, but conventional MRI examinations cannot
distinguish between diabetic and non-diabetic stroke. To
our knowledge this is the first report on pH-weighted
imaging in diabetic stroke models. We obtained a
significant pH decrease in the ischemic lesion in
diabetes compared with non-diabetes in vivo, which may
provide a marker of specificity of diabetic stroke.
