TH‐D‐304A‐02: Quantifying Magnetic Moments and Susceptibilities of Small Spherical Objects in MRI

Purpose: To quantify magnetic moment and susceptibility of any small object to monitor the progression of neurodegenerate diseases and measure the amount of nanoparticles in vivo in MRI. Methods and Materials: We have been developing the CISSCO(Complex Image Summation around a Spherical or Cylindrical Object) method in the past [1,2]. This method involves summing up complex signals from voxels within a defined circle or sphere, whose center …
