Rapid automated liver quantitative susceptibility mapping [PDF]
BackgroundAccurate measurement of the liver iron concentration (LIC) is needed to guide iron‐chelating therapy for patients with transfusional iron overload. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of automated quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to measure the LIC.PurposeTo develop a rapid, robust, and automated liver QSM for clinical ...

Predictive value of thrombus susceptibility for cardioembolic stroke by quantitative susceptibility mapping [PDF]
The hypointense blooming signal of thrombi on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), known as the susceptibility vessel sign (SVS), is predictive of cardioembolic stroke. The SVS originates from the local magnetic susceptibility effect; thus, the susceptibility value of thrombi may provide useful information in discriminating stroke etiology. We aim to

The whole-brain pattern of magnetic susceptibility perturbations in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Although iron-mediated oxidative stress has been proposed as a potential pathomechanism in Parkinson's disease, the global distribution of iron accumulation in Parkinson's disease has not yet been elucidated.

QTL Fine Mapping by Measuring and Testing for Hardy-Weinberg and Linkage Disequilibrium at a Series of Linked Marker Loci in Extreme Samples of Populations [PDF]
It has recently been demonstrated that fine-scale mapping of a susceptibility locus for a complex disease can be accomplished on the basis of deviations from Hardy-Weinberg (HW) equilibrium at closely linked marker loci among affected individuals.
