MRzero is a fully differentiable Bloch-equation-based MRI sequence invention framework. Instead of using time-consuming average-isochromat-based Bloch simulations, analytic signal equations are used as alternative forward differentiable MR scan simulation method. Neural network reconstruction is used for efficient auto-encoding. The joint optimization of sequence and NN parameters for B1 and T1 mapping can be performed 2 to 3 orders of magnitude faster then in previous MRzero approaches. The optimized sequence is tested by measurements in vivo at 3T and compared to a standard inversion recovery. High quality B1 and T1 maps are provided with less total acquisition time and energy deposition.
