We propose a modified Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting pulse sequence with quadratic RF excitation phase (qRF-MRF) for the purpose of simultaneous measurement of T₂* in addition to previously established spin parameters δ_f, T₁, and T₂. Existing bSSFP based MRF pulse sequence¹ was modified to incorporate excitation segments with quadratic RF phase to sensitize signal evolutions to T₂*. Measurements using qRF-MRF were performed in both phantom and in vivo. Maps from qRF-MRF were validated against traditional MRF, literature, and Multi-Echo GRE.
