Multi-component tissue model with priori T1 and T2
have been used to decompose MRF data. We propose that tissue classification can
be improved when the selection uses clustering method based on
cross-correlation. Our results from phantom and in vivo measurements show that
the method successfully separates signal from different tissue types, allows
extraction of tissue fractions, and results are more robust with image quality.
