Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping and R2* Measured Changes during White Matter Lesion Development in Multiple Sclerosis: Myelin Breakdown, Myelin Debris Degradation and Removal, and Iron Accumulation

Editor’s Choice The authors characterized lesion changes on quantitative susceptibility mapping and R2* at various gadolinium enhancement stages (nodular, shell-like, nonenhancing) in 64 patients with 203 lesions. They found that: 1) active MS lesions with nodular enhancement show R2* decrease
