Comparison of various quantitative susceptibility mapping reconstruction methods. QSM images are reconstructed using various methods from left to right and then top to bottom: TSVD, TKD, iSWIM, CSC, COSMOS, MEDI, HEIDI, TVSB, and R2* map. Most similar to COSMOS are MEDI, CSC, and HEIDI, with only very subtle differences among them: CSC has less black dots; MEDI has better defined dorsomedial nuclei of thalamus. CSC, compressed sensing compensated; COSMOS, calculation of susceptibility using multiple orientation sampling; HEIDI, homogeneity-enabled incremental dipole inversion; MEDI, morphology-enabled dipole inversion; QSM, quantitative susceptibility mapping; TKD, truncated-space division; TSVD, truncated singular value decomposition; TVSB, total variation using split Bregman.
