Wave-CAIPI SWI

Features & Benefits

Siemens-Healthineers unique Wave-CAIPI SWI exploits coil sensitivity variations in all three dimensions. Together with the optimal CAIPIRINHA voxel aliasing pattern, Wave-CAIPI SWI results in higher acceleration factors, shorter scan times and improved image quality1.

Your benefits:

  • Bringing high-resolution 3D SWI scans from 3-5 minutes to under 2 minutes.2
  • Helpful for cerebral hemorrhage detection.
  • Superior visualization of pathology and overall diagnostic quality compared with T2*w GRE as well as noninferior to standard SWI with reduced scan time and reduced motion artifacts.3
  • Reliable method for the detection and counting of cerebral microbleeds within approximately half of the scan time of conventional SWI.4
