Synopsis
Quantitative mapping of brain perfusion, diffusion, T2*, and T1 has a broad range of clinical applications. The present work aims to develop a novel pulse sequence that can simultaneously map perfusion, diffusion, T2* and T1 with MR fingerprinting, dubbed MRF-PDT, with a total scan time of <6 minutes. This technique was first demonstrated on healthy volunteers, then on two patients with ischemic stroke. All maps derived from MRF-PDT exhibited the expected image contrasts with quantitative values consistent with those reported in literature. In addition, test-retest studies confirmed the reproducibility of the proposed technique.
