In this study, we evaluate the effect of three potentially confounding factors (B1+ inhomogeneity, slice profile, diffusion) on the outcome of 2D Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting measurements in the female breast for six healthy volunteers. Each of these factors was included into an MRF dictionary and matching results were compared to a reference dictionary that excluded the correction. For the given MRF sequence, both B1+ inhomogeneity and slice profile correction affected the quantitative relaxation times in the female breast, whereas this was not the case for diffusion.
