We presented a case that illustrates the use of internal controls within filtered phase images, such as intracranial veins and pineal and/or choroid calcifications, to improve the reliability of using phase images to differentiate calcium and blood products. We also described how to avoid pitfalls in interpreting susceptibility-driven phase aliasing and dipole field effects.", }
