Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing magnetic resonance (MR) tissue parameter maps of a subject from magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data acquired using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The method includes providing MRF data acquired from a subject using an MRI system and performing an iterative, maximum-likelihood reconstruction of the MRF data to create MR tissue parameter maps of the subject.
Claims11
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprising:
- a magnet system configured to generate a polarizing magnetic field about at least a portion of a subject arranged in the MRI system;
- a plurality of gradient coils configured to apply a gradient field to the polarizing magnetic field;
- a radio frequency (RF) system configured to apply an excitation field to the subject and acquire MR image data from a ROI;
- a computer system programmed to:
- control the plurality of gradient coils and the RF system to acquire magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data from a subject;
- and
- perform an iterative, maximum-likelihood reconstruction of the MRF data to create magnetic resonance (MR) tissue parameter maps of the subject.
