Medical Imaging News – Susceptibility Weighted Imaging in the Evaluation of Cerebrovascular Hemodynamics

By Carlos Zamora – Guest Editor – American Journal of Neuroradiology News Digest Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high-resolution, fully velocity-compensated gradient-echo MRI sequence that maximizes intrinsic contrast differences between tissues by virtue of their local magnetic properties. This technique exploits susceptibility information contained within phase acquisitions and merges such with magnitude data to generate […]
