Detection of Hemorrhagic Hypointense Foci in the Brain on Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Clinical and Phantom Studies
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the sensitivity of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for depicting hemorrhagic hypointense foci of the brain in comparison with gradient-recalled echo (GRE)- and GRE-type single-shot echo-planar imaging (GREI, GRE-EPI), and to assess the basic characteristics of the susceptibility effect by using a phantom.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively examined 16 patients (9 males, 7 females, aged 10-74 …
