Hypointensity of deep brain gray matter structures in
T2*-weighted images (T2WI) of multiple sclerosis (MS)
patients has been reported and suggested to represent
increased iron deposition. However, these findings are
difficult to generalize as the contrast in T2WI depends
on several MR parameters including TE, TR, and others.
Here, we explored using quantitative susceptibility
contrast imaging including R2* and quantitative
susceptibility map to identify characteristic regions
suggestive of increased iron deposition in MS patients.
