Ischemia reperfusion mediated DTI mechanism and physiological responses of the affected tissue. The responses are related to changes in perfusion ω (marked green), metabolic heat generation rate q (marked orange) and temperature T (marked red to indicate increase and blue to indicate decrease). An arrow pointing up indicates an increasing trend in a parameter and vice versa. Blocks denote key events and the arrows indicate paths between the events. Relevant references are shown in each block.
