Tumor Imaging and SWI Possible Directions

• WSU MRRC, Imaging Retreat-05

High Resolution Tumor Imaging-SWI
Flash 3D T1 post-Gad
SWI No-Gad
Surrounding venous vasculature and tumor
internal hemorrhage. Also seen are (arrows) micro
hemorrhages which are not seen in T1 weighted
images.

High Resolution Tumor Imaging-Flash 3D T1
Tumor draining/feeding vessels
T1 subtraction maximum intensity projection image
SWI image mIP-8 mm.
