In the central nervous system, iron is a cofactor for many metabolic processes and aminergic neurotransmitter synthesis, and iron plays an important role in brain development from the fetal to adolescent stages. There have been many reports about the application of quantitative magnetic susceptibility mapping (QSM) to detect iron content in the normal adult brain at home and abroad and few reports about the application of QSM to detect iron content in the normal brain of children.
