MR parameter mapping has shown great potential but is still limited in clinical application due to the lengthy acquisition time. To accelerate the acquisition speed using multi-channel coils, we propose a novel blind deconvolution based approach to parameter mapping. The proposed method reconstructs the series of T2-weighted images, coil sensitivities of all channels, and the T2 maps simultaneously through a highly efficient, k-space based blind deconvolution approach. The experimental results show the potential of highly accelerated T2 mapping by the proposed method.
