SWI Neurovascular Diseases Database

 

 

 

Our Research Field:  

Detection, characterization and 

tracking of neurovascular 

diseases using MRI. 

 

 

Our Goal:  



To build, maintain and datamine a 

database of SWI images on 

neurovascular diseases. 

 

 



Our Value Proposition: 

  Accelerate and enhance the 

understanding of neurovascular 

brain diseases 

  Accelerate and enhance clinical 

trials   

  Improve opportunities for grant 

funding with industry and 

government 

 

 

Our Existing Database: 

  User friendly SSH file transfer 

internationally 

  Image processing software 

 

 

Our Current Funding: 



$2 million grant  (2006-2008) 

 

 

Join Us: 

We are now forming the advisory 

committee to direct the next 

stages of our database design 

and development, and clinical 

collaborations.

  The MRI Center of Excellence 

We have created a center of excellence in neurovascular imaging. To date there are 5 major medical 

institutions participating in this center and partners in Michigan, California, New York, and Japan. A 

key goal is to improve detection and characterization of neurovascular diseases in the brain. 

 

  The SWI technology  



We have developed a new type of contrast in MRI different from spin density, T1, or T2 imaging.

 

This 



special data acquisition and image processing produces an enhanced contrast magnitude image 

which is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. Also, we use SWI 

filtered phase images as a new source of information separately. This new method exploits the 

susceptibility differences between tissues and is referred to as Susceptibility Weighted Imaging. 



 

  Enhanced detection and characterization of neurovascular diseases using SWI 

Enhanced sensitivity of SWI to venous blood, blood products and iron storage leads to better contrast 

in detecting neurovascular brain diseases: brain tumors, brain trauma, stroke, multiple sclerosis

occult venous disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

  Our Project 

We want to build, datamine and maintain the world’s largest database of SWI images and medical 

records on neurovascular brain diseases:

 

 

  Scientific, medical and pharmaceutical researchers can speed up the collection of statistically 



significant data on brain neurovascular diseases, and thus enhance their understanding of the 

progression and potentially etiology of the disease. 

  Pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies will be able to identify easily a large pool of brain 

neurovascular disease patients through the database and to screen them based on key factors, which 

will accelerate clinical trials. 

 

  Benefits of Collaboration 



  More potential for publishing your findings 

  Better diagnoses of your patients’ condition 

  Better opportunities to obtain grant funding

  Join us: SWI Neurovascular Diseases Database Advisory Committee 

We invite companies and organizations involved in neurovascular R&D to join the Advisory 

Committee for our SWI Neurovascular Brain Diseases Database, now for an opportunity to guide the 

design of our research protocol and make our database meet their specific R&D needs. We also 

invite healthcare providers to contribute their images to this HIPAA-compatible database.
