Synopsis

Keywords: Pulse Sequence Design, MR FingerprintingIt is critical to characterize the dominating systematic errors caused by undersampling and field inhomogeneity to design robust MRF scans. However, characterizing such errors by direct simulations of aliasing artifacts is computationally expensive and impractical for sequence optimization for multi-dimensional MRF (mdMRF) scans with higher dimensions. We propose the Systematic Error Index, a model to characterize systematic errors with high computational efficiency. We demonstrate accurate and robust in vivo results from the optimized MRF and mdMRF scans obtained from the proposed SEI-based optimization framework.
