The present study performed the repeatability and reproducibility test for T₁, and T₂ values estimated using MR fingerprinting (MRF) method. MRF data have been acquired over 30 days at three different centers (center-1 (USA): 1.5T and 3T, center-2 (USA): 3T and center-3 (Italy): 1.5T) using ISMRM/NIST MRI system phantom. MRF based estimated T₁ and T₂ values are compared with the vendor provided values and standard inversion recovery spin echo and a multiple single-echo spin-echo method as scanner Ground Truth (GT) values. The results show that the T₁ and T₂ values estimated using the MRF method are highly repeatable and reproducible.
