Abstract
INTRODUCTION – Susceptibility weighted MR phase data provide anatomical contrast complementary to magnitude data [1-3] by directly reflecting local magnetic field changes. Recently, ambitious approaches were presented for the challenging problem of inverting the magnetic field to magnetic susceptibility [4-6]. However, most of the presented studies demonstrated fairly poor fidelity, were ex vivo studies, required excessive data acquisition, and/or data were acquired at ultra-high field strength. In this contribution, we present an improved method for high-quality whole-brain susceptibility mapping based on a single standard clinical low-field SWIdataset. Feasibility of in vivo lesion characterization is demonstrated for clinical patient data (n=10). Furthermore, it was shown by numerical simulation that only minimal susceptibility differences with respect to the surrounding tissue may be obtained for cavernous lesions.
