QSMGAN: Improved Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping using 3D Generative Adversarial Networks with increased receptive field

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a powerful MRI technique that has shown great potential in quantifying tissue susceptibility in numerous neurological disorders. However, the intrinsic ill-posed dipole inversion problem greatly affects the accuracy of the susceptibility map. We propose Q...
