Magnetic susceptibility mapping of brain tissue in vivo using MRI phase data.

I developed an MRI-based tissue susceptibility mapping technique to exploit high-contrast MR-phase images and obtained the first susceptibility maps of the human brain in vivo. This paper was crucial in opening up a new area of MRI research: there have been a subsequent plethora of susceptibility mapping techniques based on this work and dedicated susceptibility mapping sessions at the 2010-2011 annual meetings of the International Society for MR in Medicine. This technique’s advantage is simplicity and speed: requiring only a single MR image, one threshold and Fourier-transformation. This method has already been applied clinically to target structures for deep-brain stimulation.
