MR Fingerprinting for Rapid Quantitative Abdominal Imaging

TLDR
A rapid technique for quantitative abdominal imaging was developed that allows simultaneous quantification of multiple tissue properties within one 19-second breath hold, with measurements comparable to those in published literature.
Abstract
A rapid technique for quantitative abdominal imaging was developed by using a fast imaging with steady-state free precession MR fingerprinting acquisition in combination with the Bloch-Siegert B1 mapping method, allowing simultaneous quantification of T1 and T2 in the abdomen within a 19-second breath hold.

What are normal relaxation times of tissues at 3 T

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the reported relaxation times in the literature in vivo at 3T for a large span of tissues is presented, and a detailed analysis of the different methods and sequences used to calculate the relaxation times is given.

Multiparametric imaging with heterogeneous radiofrequency fields.

TL;DR: The results show that it is possible to perform quantitative multiparametric imaging with heterogeneous RF fields, and to liberate MRI from the traditional struggle for control over the RF field uniformity.

MR Fingerprinting of Adult Brain Tumors: Initial Experience

TL;DR: The ability of MR fingerprinting–derived T1 and T2 relaxometry to differentiate the 3 common types of intra-axial brain tumors was evaluated and it was revealed that the mean T2 of solid tumor offered the best separation between glioblastomas and metastases with an area under the curve of 0.86.

Magnetic resonance fingerprinting

TL;DR: An approach to data acquisition, post-processing and visualization that permits the simultaneous non-invasive quantification of multiple important properties of a material or tissue is introduced—which is termed ‘magnetic resonance fingerprinting’ (MRF).

T1, T2 relaxation and magnetization transfer in tissue at 3T

TL;DR: The results provide a useful reference for optimization of pulse sequence parameters for MRI at 3 T and the phenomenological MT parameter, magnetization transfer ratio, MTR, was lower by approximately 2 to 10%.

MR imaging relaxation times of abdominal and pelvic tissues measured in vivo at 3.0 T: preliminary results.

TL;DR: T1 relaxation times are generally higher and T2 relaxation time are generally lower at 3.0 T than at 1.5 T, but the magnitude of change varies greatly in different tissues, including liver, kidney, spleen, and muscle tissue.

B1 mapping by Bloch-Siegert shift.

TL;DR: In vivo Bloch‐Siegert B1 mapping with 25 sec/slice is demonstrated to be quantitatively comparable to a 21‐min double‐angle map, enabling robust, high‐resolution B 1+ mapping in a clinically acceptable time frame.

Simple Correction Method for k-Space Trajectory Deviations in MRI

TL;DR: A method is presented, using the MR signal to accurately measure the k-space trajectory of the imaging sequence, that allows for correction of gradient hardware imperfections and eddy-current effects in MRI.
