| Abstract [eng] |
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent neurological condition which can result in long-term cognitive and functional impairments, often linked to microhemorrhages and subtle bleeding that may not be visible when using the conventional imaging techniques, such as CT or standard MRI. Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) has emerged as a valuable tool for detecting these subtle abnormali-ties due to its enhanced sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility differences. This literature review explores the role of SWI in identifying microhemorrhages associated with mTBI. It examines the advantages of SWI over the traditional imaging modalities, highlighting its capability to detect microbleeds that are cru-cial for accurate prognosis of mTBI. Furthermore, the review discusses the integration of SWI with other advanced imaging techniques, such as Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM), to improve diagnostic accuracy and monitor imaging changes over time. |
