Recent studies have demonstrated that signals from three
water compartments in white matter have different B0
orientation dependent frequency offsets. This
observation improved data fitting results in GRE-based
MWI by using complex signal fitting as compared to
magnitude signal fitting. However, the complex signal
fitting approaches applied in the previous studies
required several pre-processing steps including a
nonlocal background field removal step. Therefore, the
results were strongly influenced by them. In this study,
we propose a new fitting method that does not require a
prior background field removal step. This method shows
improvement in parameter estimation.
