The purpose of this study is to evaluate different spiral trajectory prediction models - isotropic, Tan-Meyer and GIRF - to mitigate image artifacts for spiral MRI and improve accuracy of quantitative T1/T2 values for MR Fingerprinting. GIRF scan parameters were optimized to allow a total measurement time of only six minutes for a one-time calibration. GIRF similarly provided excellent results for vastly different trajectory types, varying in max. slew rate, gradient amplitude and number of interleaves, and showed some advantages against Tan-Meyer for trajectory designs with high k-space center slew rate, both for qualitative and quantitative results.
