Refactoring of T1 map calculation/selection for perfusion and CEST
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

In perfusion image analysis, conversion from signal to concentration can be done using a native T1-map. Currently, this is only done in the DCE Perfusion Datafit View using the variable flip angle method, which is just one specific method to obtain T1-Maps. See also related task https://phabricator.mitk.org/T27047.

T1-Maps are generated as well in the CEST context, so this might be combined into one functionality.

In this task, a refactoring strategy is developed, which includes perfusion and CEST applications.

I looked into the issue in more detail and found that the current implementation of the variable flip angle T_1-mapping cannot be easily replaced with a more general T_1-mapping approach. The reason for this is that not just the T_1-map is calculated but also the signal scaling factor S_0 is determined (which is additionally required for the conversion).
