Selective intracellular (IC) and extracellular (EC) brain water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured in normal and ischemic rat brain. Selective T-1-relaxation enhancement of the EC water, using intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of an NMR contrast reagent (CR), was used to separate the IC and EC signal contributions. In the CR-infused, normal brain (n = 4), T-1 = 235 +/- 10 ms and T-2 = 46 +/- 2 ms for IC water (85%) and T-1 = 48 +/- 8 ms and T-2 = 6 +/- 2 ms for EC water (15%). Volume-localized ADC(z) (z-gradient axis) values were 0.90 +/- 0.02 (EC+IC), 0.81 +/- 0.05 (IC), 0.51 +/- 0.02 (EC+IC), and 0.53 +/- 0.07 (IC), for normal, CR-infused, ischemic, and ischemic/CR-infused groups, respectively (ADC values are x 10(-3) mm(2)/s; n = 5 for each group). Imaging ADC(z) values were 0.81 +/- 0.03 (EC+IC), 0.75 +/- 0.05 (IC), 0.51 +/- 0.04 (EC+IC), and 0.52 +/- 0.05 (IC), respectively, for the same groups. Imaging ADC(av) (average diffusivity) values for the same groups were 0.70 +/- 0.05 (EC+IC), 0.69 +/- 0.06 (IC), 0.45 +/- 0.06 (EC+IC), and 0.44 +/- 0.06 [IC), respectively. These results suggest that the IC water ADC determines the overall water ADC value in normal and ischemic rat brain. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
