Imaging Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy With Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging AJNR 28:316-317, Haacke,E.M.,et al, 2007 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Gradient-echo (GE) imaging is recognized as a means to detect hemorrhagic changes in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). However, almost 25% of patients with CAA do not show micro-hemorrhages on T2* GE imaging. We applied a new imaging method, susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), to evaluate the presence of microhemorrhages. In a suspected case of CAA, where cognitive effects are also present, we show that SWI is much more sensitive in detecting microhemorrhages than conventional methods.
