Lesions identified on T2*-weighted gradient echo images in two patients with suspected diffuse axonal injury that resolved in less than ten days.

T2*-weighted gradient echo (GE) imaging is useful for detection of intracranial hemorrhage in the patients with diffusion axonal injury (DAI). However, the temporal changes in the DAI-related lesions on T2*-weighted GE images are not clear. We report two very rare cases with DAI in which lesions identified on T2*-weighted GE images resolved in less than ten days.
