A novel method, namely iLSQR, is developed for quantitative susceptibility mapping. This method uses the previously developed LSQR method to derive an initial mapping of magnetic susceptibility, a fast quantitative susceptibility mapping method to estimate the susceptibility boundaries, and an iterative approach to estimate and remove the susceptibility artifact using ill-conditioned k-space regions only. With a fixed set of parameters, this iLSQR method provides effective elimination of streaking artifacts, unbiased quantification of magnetic susceptibility as compared to COSMOS, and robustness over a range of spatial resolutions. This method is provided in the software package of STI Suite v2.12.
