Dixon techniques offer robust water/fat separation in the presence of static field inhomogeneity. Two-point Dixon imaging
with flexible echo times is desirable because of its high scan efficiency and
flexibility. A major challenge in two-point Dixon imaging is how to estimate
the phase error resulting from field inhomogeneity. In this work, we formulate
a binary quadratic optimization and propose a fast
projected power method to resolve the phase ambiguity in two-point Dixon
imaging.
