Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) using Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (syngo SWI)

July 6, 2013 by
Susceptibility weighted imaging well demonstrates microhemorrhages within the brain. In CAA, these involve the cortex and subcortical white matter within the frontal and parietal lobes. This is in distinction to hypertensive microangiopathy, where microhemorrhages occur in deep white matter as well as infratentorially. [...]

Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (syngo SWI) at 3T.

July 6, 2013 by
This is a pictorial review of susceptibility- weighted imaging (syngo SWI) using a MAGNETOM Trio system with software version syngo MR B15 and a 32-channel head coil at The Geelong Hospital, Victoria, Australia. syngo SWI is a 3D FLASH sequence that is flow compensated in slice, read and phase directions.

Clinical Neurological Imaging on an Open Bore MRI System (MAGNETOM Espree)

July 5, 2013 by
An open bore MRI has the practical advantage of accommodating large or claustrophobic patients. Unfortunately, until the advent of the 1.5T MAGNETOM Espree, “open” was often synonymous with inferior image quality. However, in addition to the large 70 centimeter bore, the Espree system offers advanced coil combinations using the Total imaging matrix (Tim) and isocenter imaging technology. Together, these features allow for performance of advanced neuroimaging protocols in new clinical populations. [...]
