DWI is the most sensitive sequence for stroke imaging.
DWI is sensitive to restriction of Brownian motion of extracellular water due to imbalance caused by cytotoxic edema.
Normally water protons have the ability to diffuse extracellularly and loose signal.
High intensity on DWI indicates restriction of the ability of water protons to diffuse extracellularly.
