Abstract:Objective
This is a report on the usefulness of 3D fusion imaging with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) as preoperative imaging for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Case Presentations
Among 17 cases of patients who underwent MT in AIS between March 2021 and April 2022, 14 patients who underwent MRI with SWI (shortened SWI for stroke) and 3D T2-weighted sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
