Synopsis

We developed a method of acquiring high-resolution MRI for the generation of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) using Ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI with a novel 3D rosette k-space trajectory. This method was used to generate high-resolution (0.94 mm3 isotropic) magnetic susceptibility maps in an Iron-Chloride phantom and the human brain. Generated maps were then compared with the susceptibility maps reconstructed from low-resolution data acquired using multi-echo UTE acquisition. Susceptibility values were comparable with current literature demonstrating the promise of this novel method in the generation of QSM.
