We demonstrate in this study the sensitivity of multi-parametric magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) results at 3T to differentiate cortical regions with different cyto- or myelo-architecture. The study investigated the quantitative T1 and T2 values in various Brodmann areas to verify the sensitivity of MRF in probing tissue properties of the human cortex. Additionally, the study explores the relationship between quantitative T1 and T2 values of gray and white matter in Brodmann areas.
