A model and corresponding solver for estimating sub-voxel paramagnetic and diamagnetic susceptibility components are validated based on the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility. Two pieces of brainstem sample were scanned under various temperature conditions to test the properties of the separated paramagnetic and diamagnetic components.
