Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) often progress to serious clinical consequences which
had close relationship with cortical/subcortical tubers and white matter
lesions. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is capable of quantitatively measure the
susceptibility.
However, little is known about the susceptibility changes
of brain damage caused by TSC. This study aims
to investigated the diagnostic value
of QSM in TSC. Our results suggest that QSM can shown subependymal calcified nodules and provided the quantitative information of white
matter damage.
So, QSM sequence may have a
complementary role in the conventional
MRI evaluation of tuberous sclerosis patients.
