The present study investigated whether quantitative susceptibility mapping is able to identify particular characteristics of alterations in white matter and other brain regions in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Our study suggests that quantitative susceptibility mapping is capable of indicating iron and myelin disturbances in white matter and thalamus for patients with mTBI.
