Synopsis

Keywords: MR Fingerprinting/Synthetic MR, Quantitative Imaging, T1rho DispersionT dispersion is a potential biomarker that can characterize chemical exchange or diffusive exchange, complementary to other MR relaxometry parameters (e.g. T1, T2). However, T dispersion conventionally involves quantification of T at multiple spin-lock frequencies, which can require prohibitively long scan times and high radiofrequency pulse energy deposition. MR Fingerprinting (MRF) has been reported for quantification of T at a single spin-lock frequency. We propose a framework to enable T dispersion MRF data acquisition and reconstruction. We report initial simulation and real-world phantom results that demonstrate the feasibility of this MRF-based T dispersion characterization method.
