Magnetic resonance fingerprinting is a new promising
technique that enables robust estimation of tissue's T1
and T2 maps even in the presence of motion. As such, MRF
seems well suited for estimation of fetal tissue
parameters, particularly given the random motion of the
fetus. We have tested the feasibility of MRF for fetal
imaging at 3T, and present our preliminary results
showing estimates of T1 and T2 maps of the fetal brain
at 21 weeks of gestation.
