Synopsis

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) solves an ill-posed dipole field inversion problem and is prone to streaking and shadowing artifacts. This report presents a novel QSM reconstruction algorithm that effectively suppresses these artifacts using prior information from traditional MRI contrasts. The proposed algorithm was evaluated using ex vivo high resolution QSM of cerebellum and brainstem specimens using COSMOS as the reference method, showing improved QSM accuracy and artifact reduction and better agreement with myelin sensitive Luxol Fast Blue staining compared to conventional MEDI and MEDI-SMV methods.
