Synopsis
In this work, we developed ViSTa-MRF, which combined Visualization of Short Transverse relaxation time component (ViSTa) technique with MR Fingerprinting (MRF), to achieve high-fidelity whole-brain myelin-water fraction (MWF) and T1/T2/PD mapping at sub-millimeter isotropic resolution on a clinical 3T scanner. To achieve fast acquisition and memory-efficient reconstruction, the ViSTa-MRF sequence leverages an optimized 3D tiny-golden-angle-shuffling (TGAS) spiral-projection acquisition and stochastic subspace reconstruction with optimized k-space diagonal preconditioning. With the proposed ViSTa-MRF method, high-fidelity direct MWF mapping was achieved without a need for multi-compartment fitting.
