A new edge-preserving method for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is proposed, which uses 3D slab segmented Wiener filtered phase data as input and the convex half-quadratic regularizing algorithm to suppress the artifacts when solving the inverse problem by using ill-conditioned Greens function kernel. Compared to current QSM methods, this edge-preserved method reserves the high spatial frequency details for veins in the final susceptibility maps. The comparisons between quadratic regularized and edge-preserved methods of the whole brain are presented, and the feasibility and future work are discussed.
