Abstract: Exemplary methods for quantitative mapping of physical properties, systems and computer-accessible medium can be provided to generate images of tissue magnetic susceptibility, transport parameters and oxygen consumption from magnetic resonance imaging data using the Bayesian inference approach, which minimizes a data fidelity term under a constraint of a structure prior knowledge. The data fidelity term is constructed directly from the magnetic resonance imaging data. The structure prior knowledge can be characterized from known anatomic images using image feature extraction operation or artificial neural network. Thus, according to the exemplary embodiment, system, method and computer-accessible medium can be provided for determining physical properties associated with at least one structure.

Abstract: Quantitative susceptibility mapping methods, systems and computer-accessible medium generate images of tissue magnetism property from complex magnetic resonance imaging data using the Bayesian inference approach, which minimizes a cost function comprising of a data fidelity term and regularization terms. The data fidelity term is constructed directly from the multiecho complex magnetic resonance imaging data. The regularization terms include a prior constructed from matching structures or information content in known morphology, and a prior constructed from regions of low susceptibility contrasts characterized on image features. The quantitative susceptibility map can be determined by minimizing the cost function that involves nonlinear functions in modeling the obtained signals, and the corresponding inverse problem is solved using nonconvex optimization using a scaling approach or deep neural network.
