The Poisson Estimation for Ascertaining Local fields (PEAL) kernel is a recently-introduced method for background field removal in quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). The PEAL kernel is determined by two parameters: radius and spatial shift. The choice of these two parameters may have a substantial effect on the accuracy of background field removal. In this work, we assessed the effect of PEAL kernel size and shift on the accuracy of background field removal and susceptibility estimation.
