Abstract
A method for characterizing a tissue in a subject using magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) includes acquiring MRF data from a tissue in a subject using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comparing the MRF data to a MRF dictionary to identify quantitative values of at least one tissue property for the MRF data, generating a quantitative map based on the quantitative values of the at least one tissue property, identifying at least one region of interest on the quantitative map, determining at least one texture feature of the at least one region of interest of the quantitative map, characterizing the tissue in the at least one region of interest based on the at least one texture feature and generating a report indicating the characterization of the tissue based in the at least one texture feature.
