We proposed a new QSM algorithm that automatically sets CSF as a susceptibility reference. The algorithm utilizes susceptibility effects on R₂’ as a regularization term. The proposed algorithm does not require either segmentation of CSF or a well-refined brain mask and, therefore, can be used reliably.
