This is a feature in Visual Studio, but academically I think you would collect using statements from your SyntaxTree like this:

var usings = syntaxTree.Root.DescendentNodes().Where(node is UsingDirectiveSyntax);

...and compare that to the namespaces resolved by the symbol table like this:

private static IEnumerable GetNamespaceSymbol(ISymbol symbol)
{
    if (symbol != null && symbol.ContainingNamespace != null)
        yield return symbol.ContainingNamespace;
}

var ns = semanticModel.SyntaxTree.Root.DescendentNodes().SelectMany(node =>
    GetNamespaceSymbol(semanticModel.GetSemanticInfo(node).Symbol)).Distinct();
