This study focused on phase measurement in susceptibility quantification. Phase shift due to hyperfine structure was observed in ferritin and iron oxide nanoparticles. Susceptibility quantification results from phase measurement were compared with results from our CISSCO method. The results indicates that a more careful work might be needed before QSM methods can be applied to the phase images. This study also suggests that CISSCO is a reliable quantification method for magnetic susceptibility.
