Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting enables rapid multi-parametric mapping. By interweaving multiple transmit-channels into the fingerprinting sequence an elegant parallel transmission framework can be constructed. Forgoing uniform excitations, this generalized MR fingerprinting framework circumvents a pitched battle against the electro-dynamic interactions that cause B1 artifacts in the traditional MR paradigm while maintaining a tractable plug & play like workflow. In this work we introduce the concept of fingerprint compression, which enables even greater acceleration factors while simultaneously speeding up the reconstruction process. This is of particular importance when using multiple transmit channels.
