Abstract
The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system () for acquiring magnetic resonance data () from a subject () within an imaging zone (). The magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a memory () for storing machine executable instructions (), and pulse sequence commands (), wherein the pulse sequence commands are configured to cause the magnetic imaging resonance system to acquire the magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance fingerprinting technique. The pulse sequence commands are further configured to control the magnetic resonance imaging system to perform spatial encoding using a zero echo time magnetic resonance imaging protocol. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor controlling the MRI system to: acquire () the magnetic resonance data by controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system with the pulse sequence commands; and calculate () a spatial distribution () of each of a set of predetermined substances by comparing the magnetic resonance data with a magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary ().
