Clinical knee MRI examinations usually consist of a series of 2D acquisitions with different contrasts and orientations. In this work, we propose to simplify and shorten the examination by performing multi-contrast imaging using a single acquisition by directly reconstructing parametric maps (PD and T₂) and then synthesizing the contrasts of clinical interest (PD-weighted and T₂-weighted with and without fat suppression). The proposed SyntheticTSE method uses a Bloch-simulation signal model for parametric mapping and a combination of compressed sensing and simultaneous multislice acceleration. Initial feasibility is demonstrated using retrospective undersampling of multi-spin-echo knee dataset
