OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques of studying brain oedema, an animal model of vasogenic oedema is needed. METHODS We developed such a model by stereotactically cannulating the caudate nucleus in 11 Wistar-rats and infusing a solution of albumin. The way the oedema developed was imaged by MRI and then correlated histologically (three animals) and macroscopically after infusion of Evans' blue (two animals). RESULTS The extension of the infusion oedema was the same in both MRI and histology as well as at direct inspection of the specimen after infusion of Evans blue. With continuous acquisition of T1-weighted images after infusion of a 1% solution of Gd-DTPA we were able to demonstrate the dynamics of oedema evolution and bulk flow. CONCLUSIONS We believe that this infusion oedema is a suitable model for systematically investigating both signal behaviour and pathogenesis of vasogenic brain oedema by MRI.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D009942	Organometallic Compounds	A class of compounds of the type R-M, where a C atom is joined directly to any other element except H, C, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, or At.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D001929	Brain Edema	Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).

D005682	Gadolinium	An element of the rare earth family of metals. It has the atomic symbol Gd, atomic number 64, and atomic weight 157.25. Its oxide is used in the control rods of some nuclear reactors.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
