Abstract
For determining a configuration for a MR scanner using MRF, MRF is optimized using a model of acquisition and reconstruction together. The effects of under sampling and reconstruction are included in the model being optimized with the sequence. A spatial distribution of response is used in the MRF optimization. An added transformation may be included to convert the fingerprint into a domain for noise removal and/or more direct parameter estimation without the dictionary. Artificial intelligence may be used to alter and/or select the type of optimization or optimization settings and/or to optimize.
