Result and future study When the tube radius is 1 pixel without the presence of noise, the solved susceptibilities were within 1% accuracy (compared to -9 ppm). When the tube radius is 1 pixel without the presence of noise, the solved susceptibilities were within 1% accuracy (compared to -9 ppm). With the larger tube radius, the sloved susceptibilities are closer to -9 ppm. With the larger tube radius, the sloved susceptibilities are closer to -9 ppm. Add Gaussian noise Add Gaussian noise
