Abstract
Systems and methods for multislice magnetic resonance fingerprinting ('MRF') are provided. Data are acquired from multiple different slices, either simultaneously or sequentially, using a schedule of acquisition parameters that are optimized or otherwise selected for each different slice. Dictionary matching techniques are then used to estimate quantitative parameters from the acquired data. The methods can provide both in-plane and through-plane acceleration without the use of multi-channel radio frequency coils.
