What is it indicated for?

QSM software (QSMetric™) is intended for use in the post-acquisition image enhancement of 3D MR images of the brain acquired using a gradient-echo sequence at 1.5T, 3T and 7T field strengths. QSM uses phase information to enhance contrast between tissues presenting magnetic susceptibility differences, such as deoxygenated blood, iron or calcium deposits. When used in combination with other clinical information, QSM may aid the qualified physicians in visualizing tissue structures with magnetic susceptibility contrasts and measuring their susceptibility values.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
