Efficient implementation of L1-regularized magnitude weighted QSM, proposed by B. Bilgic et al.
Here the susceptibility distribution is calculated that has an optimal balance between:
- explaining the measured field (minimal residual)
- a 'crisp' appareance: minimal Total Variation between neighbouring voxels, with inclusion of the magnitude data.
Based on the method proposed by Berkin Bilgic et al.
- his software: https://www.martinos.org/~berkin/software.html

In this work a further fourfold reduction in the needed number of calculations is proposed by 1) buffer-free parameter sweeps, 2) a Half-Fourier L2-sweep, 3) a pairwise L1-sweep, and 4) performing the Split Bregman gradient operations in the spatial domain.
A detailed description on these adaptations is currently under review as an abstract, submitted to the ESMRMB 2015, Abstract ID: #911 (under review)
