Lesion only detectable on review of both the axial and sagittal DWI together.
B-1000 images and ADC-maps of the lesion (arrows) that was only detected on review both the axial (left) and the sagittal (right) DWI together (R_ax+sag).

Lesion volumes of brainstem infarctions.
Boxplots for the comparison of lesion volumes of brainstem infarctions detectable when reviewing the axial DWI only (R_AX) and when reviewing the axial DWI together with the additional sagittal DWI (R_ax+sag).
