Abstract

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) utilizes the relationship between the measured local field and the unknown susceptibility map to perform dipole deconvolution. The aim of this work is to introduce and systematically evaluate the model resolution-based deconvolution for improved estimation of the susceptibility map obtained using the thresholded k-space division (TKD). A two-step approach has been proposed, wherein the first step involves the TKD susceptibility map computation and the second step involves the correction of this susceptibility map using the model-resolution matrix. The TKD-estimated susceptibility map can be expressed as the weighted average of the true susceptibility map, where the weights are determined by the rows of the model-resolution matrix, and hence a deconvolution of the TKD susceptibility map using the model-resolution matrix yields a better approximation to the true susceptibility map. The model resolution-based deconvolution is realized using closed-form, iterative, and sparsity-regularized implementations. The proposed approach was compared with L2 regularization, TKD, rescaled TKD in superfast dipole inversion, the modulated closed-form method, and iterative dipole inversion, as well as sparsity-regularized dipole inversion. It was observed that the proposed approach showed a substantial reduction in the streaking artifacts across 94 test volumes considered in this study. The proposed approach also showed better error reduction and edge preservation compared with other approaches. The proposed model resolution-based deconvolution compensates for the truncation of zero coefficients in the dipole kernel at the magic angle and hence provides a closer approximation to the true susceptibility map compared with other direct methods. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
