Abstract / Description of output

We propose an approach that can reconstruct isotropic T2* Maps from undersampled data with improved accuracy by utilizing the phase information. Our approach extends the acceleration attained in Parallel Imaging(PI) to Maximum Likelihood Estimation(MLE) by imposing the exponential relaxation directly in the complex signal domain. The method was tested on a Multiecho Gradient Echo(MEGE) T2* mapping experiment in a numerical phantom and a human brain with realtime (prospective) undersampling. The approach showed that incorporating the phase information to perform coherent fitting resulted in better denoising and improved accuracy of the parametric maps.
