In functional MRI, phase information as complementary
information to BOLD signal-magnitude changes have been
investigated with increasing interest in recent years.
In this study we tested to what degree Quantitative
Susceptibility Maps, derived from EPI-phase data that
were simultaneously acquired with traditional BOLD fMRI
magnitude data, reflect patterns of neuronal activation
as observed with an identical block-design
visual-stimulation paradigm in water PET and BOLD MRI
data. Observations pertinent to data processing and QSM
data are reported.
