A method for performing magnetic resonance fingerprinting includes acquiring a plurality of MR image datasets using at least two pulse sequence types, the plurality of MR image datasets representing signal evolutions for image elements in a region of interest, comparing the plurality of MR image datasets to a dictionary of signal evolutions to identify at least one parameter of the MR image datasets and generating a report indicating the at least one parameter of the MR image datasets.

System and method for magnetic resonance fingerprinting using a plurality of pulse sequence types

A system and method is provided for acquisition of magnetic resonance fingerprinting ('MRF') data that includes determining a non-locally sequential sampling pattern for a Cartesian grid of k-space, performing a series of sequence blocks using acquisition parameters that vary between sequence blocks to acquire MRF data from a subject using the Cartesian grid of k-space and the determined non-locally sequential sampling pattern, assembling the MRF data into a series of signal evolutions, comparing the series of signal evolutions to a dictionary of known signal evolutions to determine tissue properties of the subject, and generating a report indicating the tissue properties of the subject.
