Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Image Combined with Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Patients with Cerebral Infarction and Vertigo

This study aimed at exploring the application value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) combined with transcranial Doppler (TCD) in the diagnosis of patients with cerebral infarction and vertigo (CI + V). In this article, using a retrospective case-control study, 100 CI + V patients (CI + V group) were examined by DWI combined with TCD. Seventy cases of noncerebral infarction with vertigo (control group) who were hospitalized at the same time were collected for clinical data analysis and comprehensive evaluation of each index. The results showed that in patients with CI + V, the abnormal rate of blood vessels was proportional to the size of the lesion, and the abnormal rate of blood vessels in the large-area infarction group (97%) was much higher than that of the small-area infarct group (62%) and the lacunar infarction group (51%). The overall abnormal rate of blood vessels in the CI + V group (71%) was greatly higher than that in the control group (15%), showing a statistically and extremely great difference (P < 0.01). In short, DWI can effectively extract lesion-related data, and combined with TCD examination, the clinical diagnosis of CI + V can be more accurately performed, which had a positive impact on the clinical work of CI + V. This work provided some reference for the clinical effective diagnosis method of CI + V.
