Contribution of susceptibility-weighted imaging to acute stroke assessment.
BACKGROUND Susceptibility-weighted (SW) MRI provides insight into the pathophysiology of acute stroke. We report on the use of SW imaging (SWI) sequences in clinical practice and highlight the future applications. SUMMARY OF REVIEW SWI exploits the magnetic susceptibility effects generated by local inhomogeneities of the magnetic field. The paramagnetic properties of deoxyhemoglobin support s...
متن کاملASL and susceptibility-weighted imaging contribution to the management of acute ischaemic stroke
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in the early diagnosis of cerebral vascular events. Today, MRI is used not only for the detection of acute ischaemic lesions, but also to fine tune the diagnosis and improve patient selection for early therapeutic decision-making. In this perspective, new tools such as arterial spin labelling (ASL) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) s...
متن کاملSusceptibility-weighted Imaging in Thrombolytic Therapy of Acute Ischemic Stroke
OBJECTIVE To provide a comprehensive and latest overview of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the application of thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke, and to update the decision-making effect and clinical value of SWI on identifying stroke patients suitable for thrombolytic therapy and possible benefits and risks followed. DATA SOURCES Literatures referred to this review were collecte...
متن کاملAssessment of infratentorial Acute Ischemic Stroke with Diffusion-weighted-imaging
Synopsis: Systematic clinico-topographical correlation studies of vertebrobasilar stroke are rare due to limitations of visualization of infratentorial structures and small strokes. We analysed DWI data of 275 patients with acute infratentorial infarction from a stroke center serving a 1 million population. Even minute lesions and multifocal pathology are regularly detected with DWI, allowing e...
متن کاملSusceptibility-Weighted Imaging in Heat Stroke
OBJECTIVE To assess the role of susceptibility-weighted imaging in the detection of intracranial hemorrhage after heat stroke and in the prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of eight patients after heat stroke, with a score of 3 to 9 in Glasgow Coma Scale. The MR studies were performed with a 1.5 T scanner. Susceptibility-weighted imaging data were collected within 2-5 d...
