Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) with reduced acoustic noise includes accessing a MRF dictionary using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, acquiring MRF data using the MRI system and a pulse sequence comprising a plurality of arbitrary gradient waveforms for each gradient axis and random repetition times to control acoustic noise, comparing the MRF data to the MRF dictionary to identify at least one parameter of the MRF data and generating a report indicating the at least one parameter of the MRF data.
