By combining the proposed Bloch simulation toolbox and the partially matrix-free reconstruction algorithm, 2D MR-STAT reconstructions can be performed in the order of one minute on a modern GPU card. The Bloch simulation toolbox can be utilized for other quantitative MRI techniques as well, for example for online dictionary generation for MR Fingerprinting.
