TH‐D‐201C‐07: A Quantitative Approach to Extracting Magnetic Susceptibilities of Small Cylindrical Objects from Clinical MRI Sequences

Purpose : Changes of venous blood oxygénation level lead to direct changes in the magnetic susceptibility of veins. The oxygénation level reflects the physiological state of a given vein. Therefore susceptibility quantification of veins has been a strong interest in MRI [1]. Here we will demonstrate a general approach to extracting magnetic susceptibilities of narrow cylindrical objects and veins at arbitrary orientations from only two or three …
