High Spatiotemporal Resolution Whole Brain Susceptibility Weighted Imaging Using Parallel Imaging

Song Lai¹, John Lackey¹

Parallel imaging was explored for speeding up data acquisition of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Combination of SENSE with segmented EPI lead to sub-minute data acquisition with whole brain coverage and 1mmx1mmx1mm isotropic voxels, making SWI a completely clinically applicable technique for many applications.
