MR Fingerprinting is a new multi-contrast imaging method that is appealing for its ability to acquire multiple quantitative maps efficiently when compared to other repeated acquisitions varying a single parameter at a time. This work shows our first demonstration of MRF in vivo repeatability through test/re-test imaging of seven healthy human volunteers at 1.5T and 3.0T. We found the group root-mean-square-difference (NRMSD) of MRF-SSFP T1 measurements to be 5-6% in grey and white matter at 1.5T and 4-5% at 3.0T, T2 NRMSD to be 6-9% at 1.5T and 11-13% at 3.0T, and PD NRMSD to be 2-3% at 1.5T and 2-3% at 3.0T.
