Abstract：Objective To observe the value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in differentiation of high grade glio‐mas (HGG) from brain metastases (BM ) .Methods 19 cases of HGG (WHO III ~ IV grade) and 18 cases of BM were solitary lesion confirmed pathologically .All cases underwent routine MRI series and SWI series scan ,and SWI images were obtained with minimum intensity projection (MIP) on GE ADW 4 .2 work‐station .We observed SWI diagram of in‐tratumoral vein and bleeding distribution of HGG and BM layer by layer ,and scored according to the vein and bleeding score to analyze its statistical difference .Results The numbers of intratumoral veins of HGG were more than those of BM ,the result showed statistically significant difference ( P < 0 .05) .Conclusion Using SWI to observe intratumoral veins was help to differentiate HGG from BM .
