[Abstract] Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is extremely sensitive in discovering venous blood, blood constituents such as metabolites after bleeding, iron and calcification, et al. It has been generally applied in diagnosing such as hemorrhage process, abnormal venous blood, brain neoplasm, and quantitative analysis in iron contents. This article reviewed the literatures that SWI sequence’s clinical application in cerebrovascular disease, cerebral trauma, brain tumor, neural degeneration diseases, demyelinating lesions and the body. Meanwhile, it also put forward the advantages and disadvantages of SWI technology.
