Description
MR Fingerprinting is emerging as a clinically feasible and versatile tool for quantitative MR imaging. Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting for Quantitative MRI focuses on all aspects of MR Fingerprinting techniques and applications. Presenting a detailed and clear description of the technology, implementation, clinical translation issues and applications, it emphasizes different perspectives of MR signals and their utilization, with the goal of inspiring readers to explore new MR Fingerprinting designs. The book starts each section with a discussion on rethinking the MR acquisition and the opportunities provided by, for example, different MR contrast mechanisms, signal modeling, post-processing and clinical applications.Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting for Quantitative MRI is a complete reference for magnetic resonance imaging researchers and radiologists.- Clearly explains all the technologies of magnetic resonance fingerprinting- Presents the opportunities and challenges of clinical translation- Covers a wide range of applications, including suggested protocols to use
