Susceptibility weighted magnetic resonance imaging (SWI) seems to be a very promising method usable in the diagnosis of a number of clinical and biomedical applications. Difusse axonal injuries and neurodegenerative diseases to name a few. The goal of my bachelor's thesis was to study the principal methods of magnetic resonance imaging with particular emphasis on susceptibility weighted imaging. Then use this theoretical knowledge for practical implementation of the SWI method to 4,7T/200mm NMR system located at Institute of Scientific Instruments of the ASCR, v.v.i. It was necessary to create an image calculated software, which is capable of enhancing contrast caused by magnetic susceptibility differences as they manifest themselves in local phase changes between tissues. Few basic problems had to be solved. The phase image was filtered by a high pass filter, a Phase Mask was created from adjusted image, which is generated from phase unwrapped image. To varify the SWI method, samples were designed, which have the desired magnetic properties. During the initial phase of experimenting, hen's eggs were used and then citrus fruits with nanoiron, CaCl2, Zn and AgCl. We investigated basic parametres and settings of the MRI measurements that affect final susceptibility weighted image.
