Synopsis

Keywords: MR Fingerprinting/Synthetic MR, Data Acquisition

Highly accelerated multiparametric MRI techniques are more and more demonstrating their diagnostic potential. To achieve short scan times, these techniques rely on non-Cartesian (under-) sampling. Initially developed for MRI applications in the brain, these sequences are now also applied in body MRI. In this work, we present a phantom and in vivo study to demonstrate and evaluate the strengths and pitfalls of the two most common non-Cartesian – spiral and radial – sampling schemes for the application of rapid, free-breathing 3D T1, T2 and proton density (PD) mapping with quantitative transient-state imaging (QTI) in the prostate gland.
