Synopsis

We introduce a novel framework that jointly performs advanced image reconstruction and model-based MR parameter mapping, where various traditional and modern reconstruction techniques and signal relaxation models (T1, T2, T2*, etc) can be integrated as a plug-and-play manner. Using the proposed framework, we also incorporated model-based parameter mapping with scan-specific deep learning reconstruction (a method named LORAKI). The experiment results with T2, T2* and T1 indicate that this synergistic combination is advantageous, providing improved quantitative imaging over existing methods, e.g. with up to 3.6-fold, 1.7-fold, 2.3-fold NRMSE gain in T2, T2* and T1 estimation, respectively.
