abstract = {A phantom is presented in this study that allows for an
experimental evaluation of QSM reconstruction algorithms.
The phantom contains susceptibility producing particles with
dia- and paramagnetic properties embedded in an MRI visible
medium and is suitable to assess the performance of
algorithms that attempt to separate isotropic dia- and
paramagnetic susceptibility at the sub-voxel level.The
phantom was built from calcium carbonate (diamagnetic) and
tungsten carbide particles (paramagnetic) embedded in
gelatin and surrounded by agarose gel. Different mass
fractions and mixing ratios of both susceptibility sources
were used. Gradient echo data were acquired at 1.5 T, 3 T
and 7 T. Susceptibility maps were calculated using the MEDI
toolbox and relaxation rates ΔR2∗ were determined using
exponential fitting.Relaxation rates as well as
susceptibility values generally coincide with the
theoretical values for particles fulfilling the assumptions
of the the static dephasing regime with stronger deviations
for relaxation rates at higher field strength and for high
susceptibility values. MRI raw data are available for free
academic use as supplementary material.In this study, a
susceptibility phantom is presented that might find its
application in the development and quantitative validation
of current and future QSM reconstruction algorithms which
aim to separate the influence of isotropic dia- and
paramagnetic substructure in quantitative susceptibility
mapping.},
