The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores have important shortcomings. Amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging might offer more valuable information in ischemic strokes assessment. To utilize APTw, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), an...
