Quantitative susceptibility imaging improves upon susceptibility weighted imaging by measuring iron in brain tissues, which can be used to analyze brain function and identify neurological diseases. We proposed an efficient approach based on homotopic L0 norm minimization programming to solve the inverse problem from magnetic field measurement to susceptibility map. Results of brain exams have demonstrated the quantitative visibility of hemorrhage, veins and gray matter.
