Background-Suppressed MR Venography of the Brain Using Magnitude Data: A High-Pass Filtering Approach
Conventional susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) uses both phase and magnitude data for the enhancement of venous vasculature and, thus, is subject to signal loss in regions with severe field inhomogeneity and in the peripheral regions of the brain in the minimum-intensity projection. The purpose...
