Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) was found as a useful method to evaluate neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. For QSM reconstruction background field removed phase data is needed, but for retrospective studies only high-pass filtered data might be available. In this study we analyzed the influence of different high-pass filtered phase images on the susceptibility assessment for volunteers and Parkinson’s disease patients and compared the results to QSM estimation using background field removed phase data. With increasing high-pass filter strength consistently lower susceptibility results, but up to a certain filter strength differences in susceptibility can still be distinguished.
