  Fig. 1. Computed tomography (CT), susceptibility-weighted image (SWI), and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. (A) CT images demonstrate no definite evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. (B) However, SWI presents with multiple hypointensities in the bilateral cerebral hemisphere cerebellum, predominant at the gray and white matter junction, suggestive of microbleeds. (C) FLAIR images show multiple hyperintense lesions involving cerebral cortices and white matter in regions with large microbleeds on SWI.
