A photothrombotic stroke model using implantable optic fiber (IOF photothrombosis) was proposed in rats to visualize ADC and CBF changes before, during and after stroke onset. Peri-infarct spreading depolarization (PID) and post-PID oligemia were demonstrated for the first time by high resolution diffusion/perfusion MRI. IOF photothrombosis is highly feasible to create ischemic lesion in predetermined brain area with well-controlled infarct size, which opens up new avenues for preclinical stroke research.
