Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance fingerprinting with out-of-view artifact suppression includes acquiring MRF data from a region of interest in a subject. The MRF data is acquired using a non-Cartesian, variable density sampling trajectory. The MRF data includes data from within a desired field-of-view and data from outside the desired field-of-view. The method also includes generating a set of coil images based on the MRF data with a field-of-view larger than the desired field-of-view, determining a noise covariance based on the MRF data from outside the desired field-of-view, generating a coil combined image using an adaptive coil combination determined based on the noise covariance, applying the adaptive coil combination to the MRF data to grid each frame of the MRF data and generate MRF data with out-of-view artifact suppression. The method also includes identifying at least one property of the MRF data and generating a report.
