In this work simultaneous T1 and T2 mapping via MR Fingerprinting was used to observe the distribution of dysprosium and gadolinium MRI contrast agents in a mouse tumor model. Changes from baseline in T1 and T2 were observed using each agent alone and an increased effect was seen when agents were used in combination. Additionally, a decrease in the dysprosium dose lead to a reduction in the level of T1 and T2 enhancement observed. These results indicate that MRF might be able to be used to track multiple MRI contrast agents in vivo.
