DECOMPOSE-STI: decompose sub-voxel diamagnetic and paramagnetic susceptibility tensors

Abstract

We investigate susceptibility tensor imaging (STI) reconstruction by separating the diamagnetic from paramagnetic susceptibility tensors using the recently introduced DECOMPOSE method. The resulting para-/diamagnetic susceptibility tensors produce spatially more coherent eigenvectors than conventional STI and it shows the potential to reduce the number of orientations needed for STI.
