In this work, an optimized fast group matching reconstruction for magnetic resonance fingerprinting based on echo-planar imaging was evaluted to enhance clinical usability. This scanner based 'on the fly' reconstruction reduced the reconstruction time by an acceleration factor of 10 shortening the reconstruction to 10 seconds. The fast group matching algorithm was tested in-vivo and compared with full dictionary matching and resulted in virtually no deviation in T₁ and T₂* maps facilitating the use of MRF in clinical routine.
