In the present work, we quatitatively assessed the reproducibility of Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and effective transverse relaxation rate (R2*) in healthy volunteers at 3T scanner during multiple scanning sessions. We also investigated the QSM normalization based on 2 reference structures, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and frontal White Matter (fWM).Our results indicated that QSM using CSF as reference region reveals increased scan-rescan reliability than referencing with fWM.
