The MRF method has been shown to be extremely efficient
in the quantitation of relaxation parameters. In this
study we used an MRF method based on the Fast-Imaging
with Steady-state free Precession (FISP) type sequence
to quantify T1, T2 and proton density at 7 T. A voxel
specific dictionary was calculated based on B1+
inhomogeneity estimated via an AFI scan. A
template-matching algorithm was used to extract T1 and
T2 values by matching a dictionary entry to the acquired
signal evolution. With additional B1 measurement time,
MRF method is able to quantify T1 and T2 values within
one minute per slice.
