MEDI reduces streaking artifacts in QSMs by minimizing total variation in smooth regions in the susceptibility map. However, MEDI still contains artifacts near image edges because this method does not impose any constraint on voxels near edges. We aim to improve the reconstruction of quantitative susceptibility map from MR phase data by introducing morphology-adaptive TV regularization which imposes the TV constraint on the whole susceptibility map but with different weights in smooth and non-smooth regions. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated in both simulation and in vivo data sets.
