During operation, a computer system may acquire magnetic resonance (MR) signals associated with a sample from a measurement device or memory. Then, the computer system may access a predetermined set of coil magnetic field basis vectors associated with a surface surrounding the sample, where coil sensitivities of coils in the measurement device are represented by weighted superpositions of the predetermined set of coil magnetic field basis vectors using coefficients, and where the predetermined coil magnetic field basis vectors are solutions to Maxwell's equations. Next, the computer system may solve, on a voxel-by-voxel basis for voxels associated with the sample, a nonlinear optimization problem for MR information associated with the sample and the coefficients using: a forward model that uses the MR information as inputs and simulates response physics of the sample, the MR signals and the predetermined set of coil magnetic field basis vectors.

A system may measure a response associated with a sample to an excitation. The system may compute, using the measured response and the excitation as inputs to an inverse model or a predetermined predictive model, model parameters on a voxel-by-voxel basis in a forward model with multiple voxels that represent the sample. The predetermined predictive model was trained using training data for different excitation strengths, different measurement conditions, or both. The forward model may simulate response physics occurring within the sample to a given excitation, and the model parameters may include magnetic susceptibilities of the multiple voxels. Moreover, the system may determine an accuracy of the model parameters by comparing at least the measured response and a calculated predicted value of the response using the forward model, the model parameters and the excitation. When the accuracy exceeds a predefined value, the system may provide the model parameters as an output.
