We recently proposed two techniques, qMATCH and DCE, based on Low Rank Tensor (LRT) framework. qMATCH is a single 8-min scan for carotid T1 T2 mapping and LRT DCE is a 10-min scan evaluating inflammatory status of carotid atherosclerosis. The LRT DCE has many advantages over conventional DCE protocols, but has a scan time longer than typical 5-6 minutes. In this work, we proposed a new protocol combining qMATCH and 5-min DCE. In vivo studies have demonstrated the feasibility of the joint reconstruction. Results of joint reconstruction showed improved image quality with shortened scan time.
