Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an MRI technique enabling the reconstruction of a basic physical property in vivo. However, retrieving susceptibility maps from the MRI phase data requires an ill-posed inverse problem to be solved, which is often achieved using regularization approaches. In this abstract, we extend an existing QSM algorithm by incorporating weights from the linear structure tensor (ST) of the magnitude images to stabilize the regularization. The new algorithm yields improvements regarding the visual appearance and the quantitative performance of the susceptibility maps obtained.
