From 3D data acquired over no more than a few minutes,
the present method aims to evaluate all of the main
physical MR parameters: T1, T2, T2*, M0, B0 and B1. A
single pulse sequence is employed, and the various MR
parameters can be evaluated one at a time and/or through
linear equations, as opposed to numerically solving
larger and non-linear systems of equations involving
many or all parameters at once. As few as only two MR
scans may be acquired, using different nominal
user-input flips angles and/or different repetition
times. Simulated and phantom results are presented.
