Purpose
2. SWI is very effective in evaluating deep venous drainage which reflects transcapillary perfusion. Therefore, it can assess both hyperemia (increased flow) or hypoperfusion (decreased flow).
Findings
MR susceptibility
There is evidence of reduced transcapillary perfusion causing reduced deep venous filling (indicating increased intraventricular pressure). [Yes/No]
There is evidence of acute or chronic intraventricular or ependymal blood products. [Yes/No]
There is evidence of acute or chronic parenchymal/subarachnoid-pial blood products. [Yes/No]
NO other significant imaging findings are present. [Yes/No]
