It was unknown why these microvasculatures were not detected by SWI, though it was speculated that the fine microvasculature within the tumors did not have a great enough susceptibility effect, which was depicted using ITSS.

Despite active SWI occurring in many locations, it has received considerably less attention than passive SWI.
In the study by Seghal et al., it was proposed that SWI could prove helpful in tumor characterization.
It was found that SWI provided complementary or better information than conventional sequences regarding tumor visibility, boundary definition (3/37), blood products (25/37), venous vasculature (32/37), tumor architecture (12/37) and edema.
Deep SWI involves muscle, bone and/or mediastinum; it must have one of the following conditions: (A) wound opened with the excision of the tissue (I&D), (B) positive culture, and (C) treatment with antibiotics.
Two-dimensional SWI is a newer approach than 3D SWI, and it is nearly immune to breathing artifacts because it takes advantage of breath-holds.
We also present a gazetteer, the Semantic Web Interactive Gazetteer (SWI), implemented using this architecture, and show that it can be used to add absent geographic coordinates to biodiversity records.
Therefore, it may be advisable to use SWI and dual-echo EPI sequences for high spatial resolution studies or for perception or cognitive studies that deal with subtle differences in signals [ 11, 17].
Although a full assessment of the role of SWI has yet to be confirmed in the literature, it is fast becoming part of the standard brain tumor imaging protocol in most of the leading diagnostic centers worldwide.
