Abstract Objective: To evaluate the value of 3.0T MR susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in diagnosis of intracerebral capillary telangiectasia(ICT). Methods: Twelve patients with ICT underwent an ultra-high field 3.0T MR scanning. The sequences included spin-echo T1-weighted images(T1WI), turbo spin-echo T2-weighted images(T2WI), and diffusion weighted images(DWI), fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR), SWI and postcontrast T1WI. The images of SWI, conventional MR and enhanced MR sequences were analyzed． Results: All 12 cases of lesion located in pons or basal ganglia, showed isointensity on T1WI, T2WI, DWI and FLAIR. Meanwhile, they demonstrated focal hypointensity on SWI, which were completely consistent with the enhanceed MRI lesions． Conclusion: SWI is the most sensitive approach in the diagnosis of intracerebral capillary telangiectasia.
