Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping as a Biomarker to Assess Middle Cerebral Artery Thrombus Composition in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Minor comments:
1. The author needs to revise the introduction and conclusion sections.
2. The author may elaborate introduction part.
3. The author needs to mention current and future perspectives of QSM.
4. It should be checked the names of the tools are properly mentioned.
5. There are a few typos in the manuscript. Please correct it.

Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript aims to compare the quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) values and pathology composition with different types of thrombi in middle cerebral artery, and assess the value of susceptibility weight imaging in thrombus component diagnosis in stroke
The introduction section could be improved to avoid unnecessary repetition of well-known and established facts and dependencies. The reported studies comparing QSM values with pathological components of thrombus in patients with acute stroke could be cited.
The discussion and conclusion section might be reconsidered to emphasize clearer the original contribution of the authors.
