Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) was found as a useful method
to evaluate neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. For QSM reconstruction
background field removed phase data is needed, but for retrospective studies
only high-pass filtered data might be available. In this study we analyzed the
influence of different high-pass filtered phase images on the susceptibility assessment
for volunteers and Parkinson’s disease patients and compared the results to QSM estimation using
background field removed phase data. With
increasing high-pass filter strength consistently
lower susceptibility results, but up to a certain filter strength differences
in susceptibility can still be distinguished.
