Imaging cerebral malaria with a susceptibility-weighted MR sequence.
MR Sequence Cerebral malaria is a severe complication seen in approximately 2% of patients with acute Plasmodium falciparum infection. Characteristic diffuse petechial hemorrhages that were previously only seen by gross pathologic or microscopic examination, and virtually undetectable by conventional imaging modalities, were well demonstrated in a patient with cerebral malaria, with use of susc...
متن کاملMRI of clot in cerebral venous thrombosis: high diagnostic value of susceptibility-weighted images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), the sensitivity of conventional MRI sequences to detect clot in the sinuses or veins is incomplete and largely depends on the time elapsed since thrombus formation. Little is known concerning the corresponding diagnostic value of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), echo-planar T2* susceptibility-weighted imaging (T2*SW) or dif...
متن کاملValue of conventional MRI and susceptibility weighted imaging in diagnosis of cerebral microbleeds
Objective: To investigate the value of conventional MRI and susceptibility weighted imaging sequences in the diagnosis of cerebral microbleeds. Methods: A total of 160 patients with cerebral microbleeds treated in our hospital from July 2015 to July 2017 were selected as the objects. They were divided into study group (n=80) and control group (n=80) according to randomized picking method in whi...
متن کاملAssessment of cerebral iron content in patients with Parkinson's disease by the susceptibility-weighted MRI.
OBJECTIVE The overall goal of this study was to evaluate the usability of the susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in (1) assessment of iron deposition to enhance our ability to detect PD in the early phase and (2) in estimation of the degree of PD. PATIENTS AND METHODS SWI scans were carried out in 54 patients with PD (18 patients with the Hoehn-Yahr scale < 1.5 and 36 patients with the Hoe...
متن کاملSusceptibility-weighted MRI of extrapyramidal brain structures in Parkinsonian disorders
Susceptibility-weighted MRI (SWI) is sensitive to T2 effects and mineralization.We investigated differences in the extrapyramidal brain structures on SWI between Parkinson disease (PD) and postural instability gait disorder (PIGD) patients and correlated the SWI values with the degree of gait dysfunction.Forty patients diagnosed with PD and PIGD underwent 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
