Abstract: A method is disclosed for recording a parameter map of a target region via a magnetic resonance device. In at least one embodiment, an optimization method is used for the iterative reconstruction of the parameter map. In the optimization method, the deviation of undersampled magnetic resonance data of the target region present in the k-space for different echo times, magnetic resonance data of a portion of the k-space being present in each case for each echo time, is assessed from hypothesis data of a current hypothesis for the parameter map obtained as a function of the parameter from a model for the magnetization. To determine the magnetic resonance data of a portion of the k-space, undersampled raw data is initially acquired within the portions by way of the magnetic resonance device embodied for parallel imaging, and missing magnetic resonance data within the portions is completed by way of interpolation.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages synchronization between a profile store and a source of truth that is used to update the profile store via a real-time link. During operation, the system obtains a request to compare a first set of attributes from a profile for an entity in the profile store with a source of truth. During a pre-specified period for delaying processing of the request, the system reduces a load on the source of truth by ignoring additional requests to compare the profile with the source of truth. After the pre-specified period has passed, the system obtains a first set of attributes from the profile and a second set of attributes for the entity from the source of truth. The system then compares the first and second sets of attributes to detect and correct mismatches between the first and second sets of attributes.
