Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework for identifying signal components in image data. In accordance with one aspect, the framework receives multiple measured signal values corresponding to respective quantified signal components in image data. The framework determines at least one first measure of fit map of a signal model based on the measured signal values. The measured signal values may be swapped to generate swapped signal values. At least one second measure of fit map of the signal model may be determined based on the swapped signal values. The multiple signal components may then be identified by comparing the first and second measure of fit maps.
