Figure 2.
Apparent spatial resolution of pre-, mid- and post-zero padded QSM in a healthy subject. 1D cross sections of the 3D point spread function (PSF) along x, y, and z demonstrate that the pre-zero padded QSM reconstruction (blue) has a higher apparent resolution than the mid-zero padded reconstruction (black), which has a higher apparent resolution than the post-zero padded reconstruction (red). Arrows denote the full-width half-maximums (in units of voxels).
