Advances in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping for Human Brain: Applications in Hemorrhage, Motion, Blood Vessels
DownloadFall 2022
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is an emerging postprocessing method, computed from phase images, which is finding wide application in quantifying iron content in healthy and pathological tissue. However, QSM is still not commonly used in clinical practice. This thesis discusses the...
