abstract = {We propose an alternative processing method for
quantitative susceptibility mapping of the prostate that
reduces artifacts and enables better visibility and
quantification of calcifications and other lesions.
Three-dimensional gradient-echo magnetic resonance data were
obtained from 26 patients at 3 T who previously received a
planning computed tomography of the prostate. Phase images
were unwrapped using Laplacian-based phase unwrapping. The
background field was removed with the V-SHARP method using
tissue masks for the entire abdomen (Method 1) and masks
that excluded bone and the rectum (Method 2). Susceptibility
maps were calculated with the iLSQR method. The quality of
susceptibility maps was assessed by one radiologist and two
physicists who rated the data for visibility of lesions and
data quality on a scale from 1 (poor) to 4 (good). The
readers rated susceptibility maps computed with Method 2 to
be, on average, better for visibility of lesions with a
score of 2.9 ± 1.1 and image quality with a score of 2.8 ±
0.8 compared with maps computed with Method 1 (2.4 ±
1.2/2.3 ± 1.0). Regarding strong artifacts, these could be
removed using adapted masks, and the susceptibility values
seemed less biased by the artifacts. Thus, using an adapted
mask for background field removal when calculating
susceptibility maps of the prostate from phase data reduces
artifacts and improves visibility of lesions.},
