Sequence | Description | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
DWI + ADC | Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) and calculated Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) | Grey and white matter microstructural integrity, including dendrite density, axonal density and dispersion, and intra- and extra-axonal water diffusivity |
Kurtosis | Kurtosis diffusion Imaging | |
3D FLAIR | 3-Dimensional Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery | White matter hyperintensities, perivascular spaces, and lacunes |
3D T1 (MP2RAGE) | 3-Dimentional T1- magnetization Prepared Rapid Gradient Echo | Atrophy/cortical thickness |
SWI | Susceptibility Weighted Imaging | Microbleeds and superficial siderosis |
PWI GRE | Gradient Echo Perfusion Imaging | Capillary transit time heterogeneity |
PWI SE | Spin Echo Perfusion Imaging |
