Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to distinguish between different tissue types. In some configurations, an MRF acquisition may be performed to be sensitive to a selected tissue property or parameter, and tissues may be grouped into separate independent components based on their time courses which may be based on the underlying tissue property.
