Abstract
A method of processing magnetic resonance (MR) data of a sample under investigation, includes the steps of providing the MR data being collected with an MRI scanner apparatus, and subjecting the MR data to a multi-parameter nonlinear regression procedure being based on a non-linear MR model and employing a set of input parameters, wherein the regression procedure results in creating a parameter map of model parameters of the sample, wherein the input parameters (initial values and possibly boundaries) of the regression procedure are estimated by a machine learning based estimation procedure applied to the MR data. The machine learning based estimation procedure preferably includes at least one of at least one neural network and a support vector machine. Furthermore, an MRI scanner apparatus is described.
