Water–fat Dixon cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting

Abstract

The proposed Dixon-cMRF allows to simultaneously quantify myocardial water T₁ , water T₂ , and FF in a single breath-hold scan, enabling multi-parametric T₁ , T₂ , and fat characterization. Moreover, reduced T₁ and T₂ quantification bias caused by water-fat partial volume was demonstrated in phantom experiments.
