Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, High-Field MRI, body, mr fingerprinting, tissue characterizationAbdominal 7T MRI is technically demanding but has great potential due to improved signal-to-noise ratio. One promising way to quantify tissue properties is to use MR Fingerprinting, since MRF rapidly quantifies T1 relaxation alongside other tissue properties such as T­2, B1+ and proton density. However, translating MRF measurements from high field to ultra-high field systems is challenging. Here we investigate a strategy to translate a Cartesian MRF sequence from 3T to 7T scanners, by optimising sequence parameters. We apply this approach to the brain and to the kidney and present comparable images from our 3T and 7T scanners.
