A sample of 21 patients with sickle cell disease were assessed with SWI and compared with controls. The MRI findings were correlated with hematologic parameters. Venous volumes were lower in the SCD group but not associated with the hematologic parameters included in this study. Arterial hypointensity was seen in nearly all patients with SCD. Quantitation of venous volume with SWI may be useful for the assessment of cerebrovascular pathology in patients with SCD.
