In this work, we present a two-point Dixon method with flexible echo times where the smoothness of the inhomogeneity field is imposed as an non-convex energy minimization problem, solved by Quadratic Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (QPBO). Robust water/fat separation is achieved in in contrast enhanced dynamic liver imaging at 1.5T.
