Cerebrospinal fluid fraction, CBF and T2 decay have been reported to be related with hypoxia caused by high altitude in previous studies. All these biomarkers maybe associate with tissue homogeneous magnetism changes, which may result in the magnetic susceptibility changes. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a novel technique that allows mapping of tissue magnetic susceptibility. It has the potential to be more sensitive with respect to magnetic tissue properties than conventional magnitude-based techniques such as transverse relaxation rates. This study was designed to reveal the effect of exposure in hypoxia environment on magnetic susceptibility in human brain assessed by QSM.
