Abstract - RinQ Fingerprinting.

Recently, Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) was proposed as a quantitative imaging technique for the simultaneous acquisition of tissue parameters such as relaxation times T1 and T2. Although the acquisition is highly accelerated, the state-of-the-art reconstruction suffers from long computation times: Template matching methods are used to find the most similar signal to the measured one by comparing it to pre-simulated signals of possible parameter combinations in a discretized dictionary. Deep learning approaches can overcome this limitation, by providing the direct mapping from the measured signal to the underlying parameters by one forward pass through a network.
