Learning objectives

Flow-sensitive black-blood (FSBB)is an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that exploits the magnetic susceptibility differences of various compounds, such as blood, iron, and diamagnetic calcium, thus enabling new sources of MR contrast[1-3]. FSBB has been shown to provide clinically useful complementary information to conventional spin-echo MRI sequences. Additionally, through post-processed imaging allows creating SWI imaging data. All this driven research to evaluate compounds that alter the magnetic field of the brain, a strategy most useful in neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we highlight many clinical applications of FSBB in the evaluation and differential diagnosis of diverse central nervous system (CNS) pathologic conditions. We close with an assessment of the future of FSBB.
