Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been a condition of particular interest to the QSM community, due to the conspicuity that white matter abnormalities show in QSM contrast images. While several studies have examined small cohort case findings of QSM variations within MS subjects at ultra-high field, an analysis of QSM contrast-to-noise ratio across a wide range of lesions has yet to be performed. Here, we present quantitative CNR analysis of 65 MS lesions spread across 10 subjects scanned with a high resolution 3D protocol at 7T.
