    摘要: Provided is a system and method for performing a magnetic resonance fingerprinting imaging process. The process includes determining acquisition parameters including at least one of repetition time (TR) or flip angle (FA), selected to control one of a duration and a number of repetitions of for a pulse sequence that samples k-space in a Cartesian acquisition pattern by acquiring an echo train. The process also includes controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to perform the pulse sequence a plurality of times to acquire magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data corresponding to signals from the subject excited by the pulse sequence. The process also includes estimating quantitative tissue properties of the subject by comparing the MRF data to a database and reconstructing, from the MRF data, at least one image of the subject indicating the estimated quantitative tissue properties.

    摘要: Systems and methods for acquiring magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data includes performing a schedule optimization that sequentially selects discrimination at each trajectory to yield an optimal trajectory and controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to perform a pulse sequence using the optimal trajectory to acquire MRF data. The process also includes estimating quantitative parameters of the subject using the MRF data by comparing the MRF data to a dictionary database and generating a map of quantitative parameters of the subject using the estimated quantitative parameters of the subject and the MRF data.

    摘要: Systems and methods for producing a quantitative parameter map using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes providing magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data acquired with an MRI system from a subject. The MRF data represents a plurality of different signal evolutions acquired using different acquisition parameter settings. The method also includes providing a database comprising a plurality of sub-dictionaries, each sub-dictionary including a plurality of signal templates, sequentially comparing the MRF data to each of the sub-dictionaries to estimate quantitative parameters, and generating a quantitative parameter map of the subject using the estimate quantitative parameters.

    摘要: A system and method of use includes (a) directing a magnetic resonance (MR) system to perform a pulse sequences block in which radio frequency (RF) energy is applied to the subject to substantially saturate magnetization corresponding to an exchangeable proton. The method includes (b), following step (a), acquiring data from the subject with the MR system and (c) repeating step (a) a plurality of times where parameters of the pulse sequence sub-block differ in at least some pulse sequence sub-blocks by at least an amount of RF energy applied to saturate the magnetization. The method further includes (d), after each repetition of step (a), repeating step (b) to acquire data representing signal evolutions from the subject. Additionally, the method includes (e) comparing the signal evolutions with a dictionary database comprising a plurality of different signal evolution templates to determine quantitative chemical exchange or exchangeable proton information of the subject.
