Clinical value of susceptibility weighted imaging in the diagnosis of cerebral microbleeds in the elderly patients with hypertension

Wang Yo

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical value of magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in the diagnosis of cerebral microbleeds(CMBs) in the elderly patients with hypertention.Methods 195 elderly patients with hypertension received 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scanning and SWI sequence scanning.The number of CMBs was recorded.Results The detection rate of CMBs was 34.4%,which increased with the the increase of age.The CMBs mainly located at cerebral cortex,sub-cortex and basis festival area.Single factor analysis showed that age,hypertension were the risk factors for CMBs.Conclusions SWI is more sensitive than conventional sequence in detecting CMBs.Age and hypertension are the critical factors for CMBs.
