To address the unmet need for metal artifact suppressed susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in neuroradiology, here we introduce a novel approach to the generation of SWI contrasts using conventional (currently available) 3D-multi-spectral imaging (MSI) metal-artifact-suppression sequences. This approach leverages basic spin-echo based 3D-MSI sequences, and then utilizes the inherent spectral information within MSI to develop "phase-contrast" maps that can then used to generate SWI-like contrasts. This new metal-suppressed SWI approach has potential applications in patients with high susceptibility intra-cranial hardware, such as aneurysm clips, vascular shunts, cochlear implants, and fixed dental/orthodontic hardware.
