Hypointense Vessels Detected by Susceptibility ‐Weighted Imaging Identifies Tissue at Risk of Infarction in Anterior Circulation Stroke

CONCLUSIONVisual analysis of HV in SWI identifies tissue at risk in patients with anterior circulation stroke. Potentially pre‐existing extracranial ICA occlusions leading to prominent HV have to be considered as a confounding factor.
