Discussion points of the webinar:

  • How do magnetic field perturbations arise from heterogeneous magnetic susceptibility distributions exposed to a static magnetic field?
  • How can the susceptibility distribution be inferred from MRI-based field maps in quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)?
  • How does microstructure effect the relationship between measured field and susceptibility?
