Synopsis

This work provides a new method for fast post-processing of MRI data acquired using the WASAB1 sequence for simultaneous B0 and B1 mapping, used in CEST imaging for field inhomogeneity corrections. We are proposing a new processing method with outstanding acceleration of the parameter estimation procedure, without compromising the stability of the estimation. The stability of the method is demonstrated on phantom data and in vivo 3 Tesla clinical data.
