Abstract

PURPOSE: Four-pool Voigt (FPV) machine learning (ML)-based fitting for Z-spectra was developed to reduce fitting times for clinical feasibility in terms of on-scanner analysis and to promote larger cohort studies. The approach was compared to four-pool Lorentzian (FPL)-ML-based modeling to empirically verify the advantage of Voigt models for Z-spectra.
