Susceptibility weighted imaging in MRI: basic concepts and clinical applications

MRI Susceptibility Weighted Imaging discusses the promising new MRI techniquecalled Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI), a powerful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, allowing earlier detection of acute stroke hemorrhage and easier detection of microbleeds in acute ischemia. The book is edited by the originators of SWI and features contributions from the top leaders in the science. Presenting an even balance between technical/scientific aspects of the modality and clinical application, this book includes over 100 super high-quality radiographic images and 100 additional graphics and tables INDICE: 1 Introduction to Susceptibility Weighted Imaging. 2 Magnetic Susceptibility. 3 Gradient Echo Imaging. 4 Phase and its relationship to imaging parameters and susceptibility. 5 Understanding T2* Related Signal Loss. 6 Processing concepts and SWI filtered phase images. 7 MR Angiography and Venography of the Brain. 8 Brain Anatomy with Phase.
