Fast 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting for a whole‐brain coverage

Abstract

This study applied a fast acquisition scheme for a fully quantitative 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting scan with a total acceleration factor of 144 as compared with the Nyquist rate, such that 3D T₁ , T₂ , and proton density maps can be acquired with whole-brain coverage at clinical resolution in less than 5 min.
