We use a UTE sequence combining with Dixon method to obtain the subject specific susceptibility distribution, with 4-class tissue segmentation. The susceptibility model was then used to simulate motion-induced B₀ change for two head positions. A good agreement between the simulated and measured field map has been observe. A forward field map predicting strategy was explored using the susceptibility model.
