“…For instance: the joint estimation of off-resonance frequency in T * 2 mapping, 279 the joint estimation of T * 2 and field maps in water and fat parameter estimation, 272,280,281 the joint estimation of flip angles and proton density maps in T 2 mapping, 282 the joint estimation of steady-state signal, equilibrium signal, and effective relaxation rate in T 1 mapping, [283][284][285] the joint estimation of tracer kinetic model parameters in T 1 mapping, 286 and the joint estimation of phase parameters in multishot diffusion imaging. 287,288 Regularized direct reconstruction. To improve the performance of direct reconstruction, prior information about the qMRI parameters to be estimated can be incorporated by adding regularization terms, such as Tikhonov regularizer, 274 l 1 norm regularizer, 289 and weighted l 1 ball regularizer 268,290 to the cost function described by Equation (24).…”
