Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a novel post-processing technique for gradient-echo phase data. Schweser et al. have recently presented that inverse filtering with extreme thresholding of the unit dipole response (SDI) yields within seconds susceptibility maps without noise amplification and with a low level of streaking artifacts. Bilgic et al. recently presented a closed-form solution for rapid L2-regularized QSM with a gradient-based penalty (CF-L2) that provides images with even reduced noise level compared to SDI . In this contribution, we show that combining CF-L2 with SDI can considerably reduce reconstruction artifacts.
