The purpose of this work is to design a system that is
able to extract basic MR sequence parameters such as FA
and TR from TrueFIsp signal evolutions. Artificial
Neural Networks are used as the main tool because of
their ability to be trained and learn and then solve
complicated mathematical equations. We use an efficient
method to predict FAs of TrueFISP signal evolutions one
excitation at a time using the magnetization preceding
and following the excitation. ANNs are trained by
arbitrary initial magnetizations and random flip angles.
