To follow the time evolution of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and compare to CT. Twenty ICH patients were followed using a clinical MRI protocol typically performed on day 2, 7 and 30. The ICH areas and mean values were compared between the CT and QSM on 18 patients (average 1.7 days apart). Time evolution of ICH was also investigated by QSM. In conclusion, QSM can be used to measure the size of ICH and track susceptibility evolution of the blood degradation products, providing a means to track iron evolution.
