초록

자기공명영상 기술의 개발에 따라 다양한 종류의 시퀀스가 개발되어 방사선 진단에 큰 도움이 되었다. 다양한 자기공명영상 시퀀스 중에서 자기화율 강조 영상은 고 공간 분해능 3차원 경사 에코 시퀀스를 발전시킨 것으로 국소 자기장 왜곡에 의한 디옥시헤모글로빈, 페리틴, 헤모시데린 및 골, 광물 검출에 매우 민감하다. 이러한 영상 특징으로 인해 자기화율 강조 영상은 다양한 신경 장애의 진단과 치료에 사용되어 왔으며, 영상 화질이 향상되어 방사선 전문의에게 보다 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있게 되었다. 다양한 신경 장애에서 발생할 수 있는 자기화율 강조 영상에 나타날 수 있는 다양한 신호의 원리를 설명하고, 독특한 영상의학적 특징을 가진 질환 혹은 물질에 대해 임상적 또는 병리학적으로 진단된 환자들에 관하여 각각의 질병에 맞추어 조사하였다. 또한 자기화율 강조 영상에서 각각의 신경 장애에서 보일 수 있는 영상의학적 특징에 대해 질환의 전반적인 정보를 함께 요약하여 정리하였다. 뇌 실질 및 주변 조직에 생기는 다양한 신경계 질환들은 자기화율 강조 영상에서 뚜렷하게 구분되는 다양한 영상학적 특징을 보인다. 이에 의해 자기화율 강조 영상은 다양한 보조적 정보를 통해 적절한 진단에 도움을 준다.

Various sequences have been developed for MRI to aid in the radiologic diagnosis. Among the various MR sequences, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high-spatial-resolution, three-dimensional gradient-echo MR sequence, which is very sensitive in detecting deoxyhemoglobin, ferritin, hemosiderin, and bone minerals through local magnetic field distortion. In this regard, SWI has been used for the diagnosis and treatment of various neurologic disorders, and the improved image quality has enabled to acquire more useful information for radiologists. Here, we explain the principle of various signals on SWI arising in neurological disorders and provide a retrospective review of many cases of clinically or pathologically proven disease or components with distinctive imaging features of various neurological diseases. Additionally, we outline a short and condensed overview of principles of SWI in relation to neurological disorders and describe various cases with characteristic imaging features on SWI. There are many different types diseases involving the brain parenchyma, and they have distinct SWI features. SWI is an effective imaging tool that provides complementary information for the diagnosis of various diseases.
