Description
Brain scans after stroke track a diffusion measure that falls, then rises again, and the standard story credits shifting water between cells. Yì Xiáng Wáng offered in 2024 a different reading, built on a three-band link between that measure and the tissue's T2 relaxation time.
On his curve, tissues read the lowest diffusion when their T2 sits near a middle sweet spot, and higher when it strays either way. The same curve explains puzzles elsewhere: why spleen and liver differ, why muscle beats richer-perfused liver, why cartilage reads so high. Applied to stroke, the natural course of the measure follows the tissue's T2 journey, no extra mechanism needed.
