Cover Story: Detecting asymmetric iron deposition by MRI. Time evolution from day 0 to day 28 of a hematoma in the right striatum. Imaging was performed using T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). The temporal evaluation of ICH intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by QSM suggested the possibility of detecting asymmetric iron deposition for normal brain site. View this paper
