This abstract proposes a method for mapping of T1, T2, and R2* parameters from rosette MRF data, and tests this method on the ISMRM/NIST phantom.
Diagram of reconstruction algorithm. The algorithm has 2 main components: the non-linear curve fitting component for R2* estimation, and the pattern matching component for T1 and T2 estimation.
R2* quantification results in the ISMRM/NIST phantom. (a) The reference R2* map collected with a 6-echo GRE sequence. (b) The R2* map created from the composite half-lobe rosette MRF images. (c) A linear regression between the measured reference values and rosette MRF values. (d) A table of the R2* values measured in the ISMRM/NIST phantom.
