Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Small vessel disease as seen in hypertension and diabetes can be associated with cerebral microbleeds. These might be indicative of higher risk for future intracerebral hemorrhage. The implementation of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in high field MRI systems (7 Tesla) makes use of enhanced tissue signal and sensitivity to susceptibility differences. Our goal is to present initial results visualizing cerebral hemosiderin deposits and surrounding microangiopathy with high-field MRI. Materials and Methods: Five healthy volunteers and eight patients with known microbleeds and/or microangiopathy were…
