Recent advances in real-time MRI and model-based reconstructions have enabled single-slice T1 mapping within a single inversion recovery. To allow fast multi-slice T1 mapping, this work employs radial simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) schemes and develops an SMS model-based reconstruction approach for high-resolution multi-slice T1 mapping based on single-shot inversion recovery FLASH. In comparison to conventional multi-slice approaches, the proposed SMS model-based reconstruction achieves high resolution (0.75 x 0.75 x 5 mm3) T1 maps for three slices of the brain within 4 s with a higher precision and a better preservation of image details.
