To estimate the quantitative susceptibility effect on a
number of echoes of gradient-echo sequences, two
sequences were run in subjects with cognitive normal
(CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimers
diseases (AD). Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)
was reconstructed with the single-echo (seQSM) and with
multiple-echo (meQSM) data. QSM maps were compared among
three groups. We found higher sensitivity of meQSM data
than seQSM data. The meQSM technique has been proposed
to accurately estimate the amounts of irons compared
with seQSM technique. In addition, QSM was useful to
investigate susceptibility effects in AD brain with the
voxel-based analyses.
