Susceptibility weighted imaging: Clinical applications and future directions

Figure 9 A 16-year-old man presented with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. A: Non-contrast CT image shows hyperdense hemorrhagic foci in the left frontal and left parietal lobe at the convexity level (arrows); B: On the sagittal T1W image, a hyperintense thrombus is detected in the superior sagittal sinus; C: Coronal FSE T2W image, thrombus again shows hyperintense signal intensity; D: Time of flight non-contrast MR venography, absence of normal venous flow and accompanying thrombus are clearly depicted; E and F: SWI minIP images demonstrates hypointense microhemorrhages in the brain parenchyma with diffuse dilated venous structures indicating venous engorgement due to venous hypertension. SWI: Susceptibility weighted imaging; minIP: Minimum intensity projection algorithm.
