Abstract

PURPOSE: Conventional 3D Look-Locker inversion recovery (LLIR) T mapping requires multi-repetition data acquisition to reconstruct images at different inversion times for T fitting. To ensure B robustness, sufficient time of delay (TD) is needed between repetitions, which prolongs scan time. This work proposes a novel deep learning-assisted LLIR MRI approach for rapid 3D T mapping without TD.
