Quantitative transverse relaxation measurements and the
low and field strengths difference measures can be used
to assess iron levels in the human brain. We compared
the R2, R2*, R2 and multi-slice FDRI mapping approaches
for iron sensitivity measurements in deep gray matter
using 1.5 T and 4.7 T. Results show R2* is most
sensitive at iron at high field while R2 and FDRI
provide specific brain iron measures.
