In this study, we examed different multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion patterns using quantitative susceptibility map (QSM) and compared lesion volumes on T2-weighted (T2w) and QSM images at different lesion stages. The relative lesion QSM/T2w volume increases over 1 year of the lesion onset indicates the participation of iron in chronic active lesions.
