Comparison of susceptibility weighted imaging and TOF-angiography for the detection of Thrombi in acute stroke.

Comparison of susceptibility weighted imaging and TOF-angiography for the detection of Thrombi in acute stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Time-of-flight (TOF) angiography detects embolic occlusion of arteries in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to the absence of blood flow in the occluded vessel. In contrast, susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) directly enables intravascular clot visualization due to h...
