The purpose of this study was to develop a clinically feasible method for quantifying myelin and iron distribution in white matter lesions by integrating absolute myelin water mapping using Fast Acquisition using Spiral Trajectory and T2prep (FAST-T2) sequence with Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM). Preliminary results from 8 healthy volunteers and 3 MS patients demonstrated the feasibility of the developed method.
