Hyperpolarized ¹³C probe development has allowed in vivo monitoring of different physiological processes relating to various diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Each new probe is typically characterized with polarization and T₁ measurements, but T₂ is also an important parameter for optimal sequence design, including progressive flip angle schemes. To improve the spatiotemporal resolution of T₂ mapping sequences and subsequent multi-exponential analysis, this project investigated using a local low rank plus sparse reconstruction for 2-fold acceleration of in vivo T₂ mapping with the bSSFP sequence.
