This research investigates the effectiveness of filtered phase images compared to enhanced magnitude images for paramagnetic rim lesion identification.
Comparison of filtered phase images and enhanced magnitude images for identifying paramagnetic rim lesions (PRL).
Evaluation conducted using standard susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) techniques.
Assessment of clinical implications for PRL evaluation.
Filtered phase images significantly improve the visibility of paramagnetic rim lesions compared to enhanced magnitude images.
The research suggests filtered phase imaging should be the preferred method for PRL evaluation in clinical settings.
Abstract
Filtered phase images derived from standard SWI outperform enhanced magnitude images for PRL identification and should be primarily used for PRL evaluation in clinical practice.
