We propose a novel fast and accurate method for calculating transverse relaxation times called Auto Regression on Linear Operations (ARLO). T2 * mapping using simulated and in vivo data showed ARLO delivered comparable accuracy compared to the non-linear least squares based Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm and better accuracy for lower SNR and shorter T2 * compared to the Log-Linear (LL) algorithm. ARLO is approximately 100 and 10 times faster than LM and LL, respectively, enabling rapid whole-organ T2 * mapping.
