Inaccuracies and temporal fluctuations in field map measurements form a major problem in image reconstruction for permanent magnet based low field MRI systems. These inaccuracies can potentially be corrected by using a joint image reconstruction and field map estimation algorithm. Simulation results show improved image quality when using a new updating scheme compared to standard iterative reconstructions.
