Abstract

The present invention provides a novel lactate difference imaging (LDI) technique, allowing assessment of the metabolic response to tissue over a period of time. This approach utiliizes lactate change over a time period as an indiactor of viable tissue, and offers benefits in the management and treatment of the effects of many common diseases, in particular stroke.
