Previous work has shown that Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting with quadratic RF phase (qRF-MRF) can be used to simultaneously quantify off-resonance, T1, T2 and T2*. This method employed a mix of bSSFP and qRF pulse sequence block segments for reliable tissue property quantification. However, the incorporation of bSSFP type acquisition schemes resulted in null-band artifacts near bSSFP signal voids. Here, we present a bSSFP-free pure qRF-MRF method with elimination of null-band artifacts, and explore its potential for tissue property mapping with reduced acquisition time.
