Abstract
PURPOSE: Conventional quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) methods rely on simplified physical models that assume isotropic and homogeneous tissue properties, leading to artifacts and inaccuracies in biological tissues. This study aims to develop and evaluate DEEPOLE, a deep learning-based method that incorporates macroscopically nondipolar Larmor frequency shifts into QSM to enhance the quality and accuracy of susceptibility maps.
