Synopsis

MR-STAT is a framework for simultaneous mapping of quantitative MR parameters from single short scans. In this work, we extend the current 2D Cartesian MR-STAT sequence to 3D acquisitions, in order to achieve higher SNR and isotropic resolution with a scan lasting few minutes. In particular, we implement a prototype 3D MR-STAT sequence for whole brain coverage with isotropic resolution, and test it on gel phantom and in-vivo brain data. Acceleration strategy of the 3D sequence is proposed, and the corresponding retrospective undersampling of the measured in-vivo data is reconstructed.
