1. T2-weighted (A) and gradient-echo (T2
T2-weighted (A) and gradient-echo (T2*) (B) MR images from a patient with SS demonstrate superiority of the gradient-echo technique in detecting the characteristic T2 hypointensity, shown here along the Sylvian and interhemispheric fissures.
T2-weighted (A) and gradient-echo (T2*) (B) MR images from a patient with SS demonstrate superiority of the gradient-echo technique in detecting the characteristic T2 hypointensity, shown here along the Sylvian and interhemispheric fissures. Both images are from the same patient and were obtained at the same point in time. Reprinted with permission from Kumar N. Superficial siderosis: associations and therapeutic implications.
