This work proposes
a deep learning based method to accelerate MR parametric mapping both by
reducing the contrast number and undersampling the k-space data.
Fig. 1 (a) The
proposed MRI parameter mapping method consists of two neural networks module
and a pixel-wise curve fitting process. (b) The reconstruction module is based on
deep ADMM-Net for reconstruction of weighted images from under-sampled k-space
data. (c) The generative module is a densely connected neural network to
generate the corresponding weighted images from the reconstructed image pairs
under the supervision of corresponding weighted images.

(R=1); Proposed: Mapping with 2 acquired fully sampled images and 3 synthetic images (Equivalent R = 2.5); Two contrast images: Mapping with 2 acquired fully sampled images only (Equivalent R = 2.5).
