Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) enables fast quantitative MR imaging, which is appealing in prostate cancer diagnostics. In pelvic MR Fingerprinting, blood flow in the femoral vessels causes strong streak-like artefacts when a radial sampling strategy is used. Here we develop a strategy to incorporate saturation bands into MRF sequences. Our phantom study shows quantification of areas outside the saturation band are not significantly affected. Meanwhile, qualitative analysis of in vivo experiments indicates a marked reduction in streak intensity when saturation is applied.
