Noise Effects in Various Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Methods
2013
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering
Various regularization methods have been proposed for single-orientation quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), which is an ill-posed magnetic field to susceptibility source inverse problem. Noise amplification, a major issue in inverse problems, manifests as streaking artifacts and quantification errors in QSM and has not been comparatively evaluated in these algorithms. In this paper, various QSM methods were systematically categorized for noise analysis. Six representative QSM methods

... e selected from four categories: two non-Bayesian methods with alteration or approximation of the dipole kernel to overcome the ill conditioning; four Bayesian methods using a general mathematical prior or a specific physical structure prior to select a unique solution, and using a data fidelity term with or without noise weighting. The effects of noise in these QSM methods were evaluated by reconstruction errors in simulation and image quality in 50 consecutive human subjects. Bayesian QSM methods with noise weighting consistently reduced root mean squared errors in numerical simulations and increased image quality scores in the human brain images, when compared to non-Bayesian methods and to corresponding Bayesian methods without noise weighting (p ≤ 0.001). In summary, noise effects in QSM can be reduced using Bayesian methods with proper noise weighting.
Multiple sclerosis lesion geometry in quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and phase imaging
2014
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Purpose-To demonstrate the phase and QSM patterns created by solid and shell spatial distributions of magnetic susceptibility in MS lesions. Materials and Methods-Numerical simulations and experimental phantoms of solid-and shell-shaped magnetic susceptibility sources were used to generate magnitude, phase, and QSM images. Imaging of 20 consecutive MS patients was also reviewed for this IRB-approved MRI study to identify appearance of solid and shell lesions on phase and QSM images.

... d and shell susceptibility sources were correctly reconstructed in QSM images, while the corresponding phase images depicted both geometries with shell-like patterns, making the underlying susceptibility distribution difficult to determine using phase alone. In MS patients, of the 60 largest lesions identified on T2, 30 lesions were detected on both QSM and phase, of which 83% were solid and 17% were shells on QSM, and of which 30% were solid and 70% were shell on phase. Of the 21 shell-like lesions on phase, 76% appeared solid on QSM, 24% appeared shell on QSM. Of the five shell-like lesions on QSM, all were shell-like on phase. Conclusion-QSM accurately depicts both solid and shell patterns of magnetic susceptibility, while phase imaging fails to distinguish them. Representative lesions in two MS patients demonstrate that shell appearance on HPF phase imaging can correspond to either solid (e.g. lesion 4) or shell (e.g. lesion 8) on QSM. On the right, lesions visible on T2w are numbered and their geometrical appearances on HPF phase and QSM are listed. Eskreis-Winkler et al.

Morphology enabled dipole inversion for quantitative susceptibility mapping using structural consistency between the magnitude image and the susceptibility map
2012
NeuroImage
The magnetic susceptibility of tissue can be determined in gradient echo MRI by deconvolving the local magnetic field with the magnetic field generated by a unit dipole. This Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) problem is unfortunately ill-posed. By transforming the problem to the Fourier domain, the susceptibility appears to be undersampled only at points where the dipole kernel is zero, suggesting that a modest amount of additional information may be sufficient for uniquely resolving

... ceptibility. A Morphology Enabled Dipole Inversion (MEDI) approach is developed that exploits the structural consistency between the susceptibility map and the magnitude image reconstructed from the same gradient echo MRI. Specifically, voxels that are part of edges in the susceptibility map but not in the edges of the magnitude image are considered to be sparse. In this approach an L 1 norm minimization is used to express this sparsity property. Numerical simulations and phantom experiments are performed to demonstrate the superiority of this L 1 minimization approach over the previous L 2 minimization method. Preliminary brain imaging results in healthy subjects and in patients with intracerebral hemorrhages illustrate that QSM is feasible in practice.
Reducing the object orientation dependence of susceptibility effects in gradient echo MRI through quantitative susceptibility mapping
2012
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
This study demonstrates the dependence of non-local susceptibility effects on object orientation in gradient echo MRI and the reduction of non-local effects by deconvolution using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Imaging experiments were performed on a 3T MRI system using a spoiled 3D multi-echo GRE sequence on phantoms of known susceptibilities, and on human brains of healthy subjects and patients with intracerebral hemorrhages. Magnetic field measurements were determined from

... e echo phase data. To determine the QSM, these field measurements were deconvolved through a dipole inversion kernel under a constraint of consistency with the magnitude images. Phantom and human data demonstrated that the hypointense region in GRE magnitude image corresponding to a susceptibility source increased in volume with TE and varied with the source orientation. The induced magnetic field extended beyond the susceptibility source and varied with its orientation. In QSM, these blooming artifacts, including their dependence on object orientation, were reduced and material susceptibilities were quantified.
