Preferred Label : MR Fingerprinting;
NCIt synonyms : MRF;
NCIt definition : A novel application of magnetic resonance imaging. Instead of using a repeated, serial
acquisition of data for the characterization of individual parameters of interest,
MRF uses a pseudorandomized acquisition that causes the signals from different materials
or tissues to have a unique signal evolution or fingerprint that is simultaneously
a function of the multiple material properties under investigation. The processing
after acquisition involves a pattern recognition algorithm to match the fingerprints
to a predefined dictionary of predicted signal evolutions. These can then be translated
into quantitative maps of the MR parameters of interest.;
