Synopsis

Keywords: Electromagnetic Tissue Properties, Quantitative Susceptibility mappingQSM is a promising MRI techniques that enables the assessment of magnetic properties of tissue. However, its underlying biophyisical source of contrast is still unknown. It has been shown that iron is well correlated in the basal ganglia, however this hasn't been investigates for other regions. Furthermore, iron can be presented in different forms in the brain, each one having different functions and properties. This work aims to assess the composition of brain structures regarding its paramagnetic ions' and total metal content, comparing their concentrations with magnetic susceptibility assessed by QSM
