Purpose: To develop methods for quality assurance of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) using MRI at different magnetic field strengths, and scanners, using different MR-sequence protocols, and post-processing pipelines.
Methods: We built a custom phantom based on iron in two forms: homogeneous susceptibility ('free iron') and with fine-scaled variations in susceptibility ('clustered iron') at different iron concentrations. The phantom was measured at 3.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared two types of medical scans, PET and SPECT, to see how well they measure how well the lungs work in people with serious breathing problems.
- Five patients were tested using both types of scans to look for differences in how the lung images showed airflow.
- The researchers found that PET scans showed better results in some patients, and they discovered important details about how these scans relate to lung function.
