Evaluation of highly accelerated wave controlled aliasing in parallel imaging (Wave-CAIPI) susceptibility-weighted imaging in the non-sedated pediatric setting: a pilot study.

Highly accelerated Wave-CAIPI SWI of the brain can provide similar image quality to standard SWI, with estimated scan time reduction of 3-3.5 min depending on the radiofrequency coil used, with fewer motion artifacts, at a cost of mild but perceptibly increased noise in the central brain.
