Synopsis

A novel application of Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) on low-field NMR is presented. To successfully implement MRF, the correlation between the static and the radio-frequency fields has to be measured, because the evolution of the signal cannot be analyzed without accounting for magnetic fields inhomogeneities. Experimental results have been validated by simulations and compared using the RMSE. This preparatory evaluation allows the use of MRF for NMR parameters quantification. Then, an artificial intelligence approach for parameters reconstruction has been used to overcome the limitation of the standard dictionary approaches when several parameters have to be estimated.
