Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) provides multiple quantitative imaging (QI) metrics within a single MR acquisition. The quantitative images must be standardized to generate MR protocols for acquisition of biomarkers. In this study both qualitative and quantitative repeatability experiments have been performed using ACR and ISMRM/NIST system phantoms at three collaborative centers (2 USA, 1 Europe) to evaluate imaging data consistency and the inherent reliability (Coefficient of Variation) of MRF. Results of both qualitative and quantitative study has shown reliability of MRF method.
