Besides the strengthened susceptibility effect, enhanced susceptibility-weighted angiography (eSWAN) sequence provides also a time-of-flight (TOF) effect, allowing the exploration of the intracranial arterial circulation. The objective of our study was to compare eSWAN and 3D TOF, considered as the reference, in the detection of arterial occlusion in acute stroke. METHODS: Patients who underwent MRI between March and July 2014 for suspected acute stroke with an acute ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were prospectively included in this study. eSWAN and TOF images were analyzed under double-blind conditions by a junior radiologist and a senior neuroradiologist for the detection of arterial occlusion. eSWAN images were assessed in order to estimate the inter-observer agreement. After a consensus, eSWAN and TOF data were compared to calculate inter-modality agreement. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients were included. Inter-observer agreement was excellent (kappa: 0.96) for eSWAN detection of occlusion. After consensus, comparison between TOF and eSWAN showed substantial agreement (kappa: 0.71). eSWAN provided better detection of distal occlusions, but poorer performance for detection of siphon occlusions. CONCLUSIONS: Shortest echoes eSWAN images enabled detection of arterial occlusion with substantial agreement with TOF images. The susceptibility vessel sign associated with the TOF effect improved the identification of distal occlusions. In acute stroke protocol, eSWAN may represent a valuable alternative to T2* and TOF sequences.Show less >
