Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging of the Anatomic Variation of Thalamostriate Vein and Its Tributaries.

Thalamostriate vein (TSV) is an important tributary of the internal cerebral vein, which mainly drains the basal ganglia and deep medulla. The purpose of this study was to explore the anatomic variation and quality of TSV and its smaller tributaries using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI).We acq...
