The purpose of this work is to accelerate the acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Compared with traditional MRF reconstruction using 1000 time points, our CNN model shows better reconstruction fidelity in T₂ and similar reconstruction fidelity in T₁ using 300 time points. Our study suggests that CNN-based method may be an effective tool in the acceleration of MRF reconstruction.
