We developed a quantitative and synthetic MRI method capable of generating the most-commonly encountered contrasts in neuro protocols, along with quantitative parameter maps, with full brain coverage and 1-mm isotropic resolution, from only about 5 min of scanning. The eventual goal is for this sequence and associated processing to play a role in abbreviated neuro protocols. Promising results were obtained in healthy volunteers and we recently embarked on a larger patient study. After a few months of delay, largely associated with the pandemic, patient recruitment has started, and preliminary results are shown here.
