In this work, we experimentally explore the sensitivity of Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) to various types of motion at different time intervals during the scan. Our results show that the T1 values are least affected by motion, but the maps may be blurred if the motion occurs early in the scan. Also, motion in the middle of the scan leads to a systematic underestimation in T2. In addition, we show that simply removing the corrupted time-points from the data can restore quantitative parameter values to the correct range.
