The purpose of this study is to improve accuracy for quantitative susceptibility map (QSM) by Edge-Weighted L1 (EW-L1) regularization. Numerical simulation and human brain experiment were performed to demonstrate the superiority of EW-L1 over conventional L1 method. Our results showed that EW-L1 provides highly accurate estimation and suppressed streaking artefact of QSM. Preliminary results of brain imaging suggested its feasibility of QSM in clinical practice.
