To date, we are unaware of any reports regarding quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) at different temperatures. To clarify the temperature dependence of susceptibility estimated by QSM analysis, we investigated the relationships between temperature and susceptibility using a simple cylinder phantom with varying temperatures. This study has demonstrated that a significant inverse correlation was found between the temperature and the susceptibility value estimated by QSM analysis. This dependence might be the confounding factor of QSM-based iron estimation.
