Application of susceptibility-weighted imaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high spatial resolution,three-dimensional,and gradient echo magnetic resonance technique.Recent studies have shown that SWI can be used to detect the intra-arterial thrombi,assess the viability of the ischemic brain tissue,and predict the short-and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.This article reviews the application of SWI in these fields.
