Susceptibility-weighted
imaging (SWI) is sensitive to venous vasculature and is a powerful tool for
evaluating vascular malformations such as venous angiomas. To enhance the
visibility of small vascular structures, especially at 1,5T systems, a flow-sensitive black-blood (FS-BB) has
been recently developed; The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility
of the FS-BB sequence in various intracranial lesions apart from vascular
malformations.
