Macroscale magnetic susceptibility creates large variations in the phase images preventing the direct analysis of local tissue-dependent phase in quantitative susceptibility mapping. Unwrapping and background field removal are important steps for calculating tissue phases and susceptibility maps. In this work, a 3D spiral acquisition is combined with an image reconstruction pipeline modelling the macroscale magnetic susceptibility to provide more accurate tissue phases and susceptibility maps, by reducing image distortions and facilitating unwrapping and background phase removal.
