To help understand various QSM methods, we propose the following categorization: Non-Bayesian approach with alteration of the dipole kernel or approximation of the dipole kernel to overcome ill condition, and Bayesian approach using a general mathematical prior or a specific physical structure prior. We also examine the noise modeling error in QSM methods.
