Abstract
The invention provides for a method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging system for imaging a subject. The method comprises acquiring () tagged magnetic resonance data () and a first portion () of fingerprinting magnetic resonance data by controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system with tagging pulse sequence commands (). The tagging pulse sequence commands comprise a tagging inversion pulse portion () for spin labeling a tagging location within the subject. The tagging pulse sequence commands comprise a background suppression portion (). The background suppression portion comprises MRF pulse sequence commands for acquiring fingerprinting magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance fingerprinting protocol. The tagging pulse sequence commands comprise an image acquisition portion (). The method comprises acquiring () control magnetic resonance data () and a second portion () of the fingerprinting magnetic resonance data by controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system with control pulse sequence commands. The control pulse sequence commands comprise a control inversion pulse portion (). The control pulse sequence commands comprise the background suppression portion ('). The control pulse sequence commands comprise the image acquisition portion (). The method comprises reconstructing () tagged magnitude images () using the tagged magnetic resonance data. The method comprises reconstructing () a control magnitude images () using the control magnetic resonance data. The method comprises constructing () an ASL image by subtracting the control magnitude images and the tagged magnitude images from each other. The method comprises reconstructing () a series of magnetic resonance fingerprinting images () using the first portion of the fingerprinting magnetic resonance data and/or the second portion of the fingerprinting magnetic resonance data. The method comprises generating () at least one magnetic resonance parametric map () by comparing the series of magnetic resonance fingerprinting images with a magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary.
