Abstract
MR fingerprinting method in which an MR pulse sequence succession is output multiple times. The MR pulse sequence succession has MR pulse sequences of a same type output successively in time and differing in terms of a pulse sequence parameter that is varied according to a predefined scheme. During the first output, raw data from a region of interest (ROI) of an object is acquired in a short time interval by the raw data being acquired at a low information density. The total information density of the acquisition is increased with each repetition of the output. After the acquisition, image data from the ROI is reconstructed based on the acquired raw data. MR-parameter value datasets associated with reference image data and having MR parameter values, are determined by comparing the reconstructed image data with the reference image data. MR parameter maps are determined based on the determined MR parameter values.
