We compared QSM value of paramagnetic and diamagnetic substances at 3T-MR, 1.5T-MR, and CT in this study. Phantoms with different concentration gadoterate meglumine (Gd) and calciumcarbonate (CaCO₃) were created. QSM at 3T and 1.5T and CT imaging were performed for these phantoms. QSM of Gd phantom showed positive susceptibility and QSM of CaCO₃ showed negative susceptibility. QSM demonstrated consistent results in paramagnetic and diamagnetic substances at 3T and 1.5T. QSM and CT values were correlated well.
