MR
fingerprinting has been used for estimating the intra-voxel tissue component
fractions by resolving the equation Svoxel=Dw.
In this study, potential fractions of interested components are used for building
dictionary instead of T1 and T2, changing the solution of Svoxel =Dw into an optimization problem with
regularization terms. The results demonstrate that the proposed method could
provide more robust quantification of tissue composition and estimation of
partial volume effects.
