Thrombolysis in MR suite. If a suspected haemorrhage is noted on the
first sequence (DWI), SWI is applied as the subsequent sequence to
confirm the presence of the haemorrhage. All cases of haemorrhagic
stroke show an area of hypointensity with a surrounding hyperintense
rim on DWI (b1000). The haemorrhagic stroke cases are illustrated with
a comparison to SWI and CT. In selected doubtful cases, the treatment
decision is decided after extra sequences, for example in stroke mimics
or recurrent infarcts.
