Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from physical or traumatic injuries to the brain's surrounding bony structures and associated tissues, which can lead to various sequelae, including simple concussion, acute epidural hematoma, parenchymal contusions, subarachnoid hemorrhage, diffuse axonal injury, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has enhanced the accuracy of neuroimaging for these injuries. SWI is based on 3D gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with long echo times and flow compensation.

However, unnecessary radiation exposure can pose potential risks, including an increased risk of malignancy. One factor contributing to unnecessary radiation exposure is the rejection and retaking of X-ray images, which can lead to higher patient and occupational radiation doses.
