Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting

Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is a rapid MRI technique aiming to simultaneously quantify multiple tissue properties (e.g., T1, T2 relaxation times, fat fraction) from a single scan. Current research focuses on improving reconstruction accuracy and efficiency, particularly for 3D imaging, using advanced algorithms like deep learning (including Deep Image Priors, generative adversarial networks, and recurrent neural networks) and compressed sensing to mitigate undersampling artifacts. These advancements enhance the precision and speed of MRF, leading to improved diagnostic capabilities and potentially enabling the non-invasive assessment of microvascular properties and other tissue characteristics not readily accessible with conventional MRI.
