Abstract
Systems and methods for producing a quantitative parameter map using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes providing magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data acquired with an MRI system from a subject. The MRF data represents a plurality of different signal evolutions acquired using different acquisition parameter settings. The method also includes providing a database comprising a plurality of sub-dictionaries, each sub-dictionary including a plurality of signal templates, sequentially comparing the MRF data to each of the sub-dictionaries to estimate quantitative parameters, and generating a quantitative parameter map of the subject using the estimate quantitative parameters.
