This study presents a novel free-breathing technique which addresses some of the difficulties in quantitative T₁ and T₂ mapping of the abdomen. The technique integrates Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) and pilot tone (PT) navigator to retrospectively provide simultaneous quantification of multiple tissue properties in the abdomen in inhalation and expiration states of the respiratory motion. The proposed method can be implemented with both 2D and 3D MRF acquisitions.
