In this study, we proposed
an efficient online map reconstruction framework for 3D MRF using a GPU-based
reconstruction. Simultaneous T1 and T2 tissue mapping can
be achieved in ~ 0.7 sec per slice, which enables rapid volumetric quantitative
imaging using MRF.

times for SVD, NUFFT, coil combination and pattern matching are
presented for one slice.
