BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gadolinium SWI is MR imaging that has recently been
reported to be effective in the evaluation of several neurologic disorders, including …

Purpose: Susceptibility-weighted (SW) imaging is a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
technique reported effective in visualizing multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, but its capacity to …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In multiple sclerosis, gadolinium enhancement is used to
classify lesions as active. Regarding the need for a standardized and accurate method for …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic susceptibility values of multiple sclerosis lesions
increase as they change from gadolinium-enhancing to nonenhancing. Can susceptibility …

Aims To evaluate prospectively whether an intravenous gadolinium injection could improve
the detection of the central vein sign on susceptibility-weighted imaging sequences obtained …

Abstract Purpose Repeated use of Gadolinium (Gd) contrast for multiple sclerosis (MS)
imaging leads to Gd deposition in brain. We aimed to study the utility of phase values by …
