QSM is an imaging biomarker for chronic glial activation in multiple sclerosis lesions
Abstract Background Inflammation in chronic active lesions occurs behind a closed blood–brain barrier and cannot be detected with MRI. Activated microglia are highly enriched for iron and can be visualized with quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), an MRI technique used to delineate iron. Objec...
