Recent developments in spatiotemporal MRI techniques enable whole-brain multi-parametric mapping in incredibly short acquisition times through highly-efficient k-space encoding, subspace reconstruction and carefully-designed regularization. However, this comes at the cost of long reconstruction times making such methods difficult to integrate into clinical practice.
This abstract proposes a framework denoted SMILR (pronounced smile-r) to reduce the reconstruction times of subspace methods from multiple hours to a few minutes through machine learning. To evaluate performance, the framework is applied to multi-axis spiral projection MRF (denoted SPI-MRF) where it achieves improved reconstruction over conventional subspace reconstruction with locally low-rank at ~16-20x faster speed.
