Diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhagic lesions: comparison between 3D-SWAN (3D T2-weighted imaging with multi-echo acquisition) and 2D-T2-weighted imaging.

CONCLUSION: SWAN is equal or superior to standard T2*-WI for the diagnosis of various cerebral hemorrhagic lesions. Because its acquisition time is reasonable it may replace T2*-WI. PMID: 23926235 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
