MRzero with dAUTOMAP reconstruction: automated invention of MR acquisition and neural network reconstruction

{We present an end-to-end optimized T1 mapping utilizing MRzero - a fully differentiable Bloch-equation-based MRI sequence invention framework. A convolutional neural network is employed for combined image reconstruction and parameter mapping. The pipeline performs a joint optimization of sequence parameters and neural network parameters to create a full autoencoder for T1 mapping. We demonstrate for in vivo measurements at 3T, that the CNN based reconstruction and T1 mapping outperformes a conventional reconstruction with pixelwise neural network based T1 quantification.}
