A schematic diagram describing the work flow of the error metric utilized for quantitatively assessing the quality of the reconstructed magnetization vector. A subset of the initial available experimental projections is taken; in this example three, six and eight are selected (left, white circles). The reconstruction algorithm is applied to obtain the spatially resolved vector given by the matrix, which is then utilized to compute artificially the projections that were not involved in the reconstruction (right, dark-gray circles). Finally, these artificially generated projections are subtracted in a pixel-wise operation from the experimental ones (black), squaring and summing for all the pixels, and normalizing by the number of images involved (in this particular case five). This error metric is represented by . |
