Synopsis

Keywords: MR Fingerprinting, MR Fingerprinting, 31P, MRF, creatine kinase rate, kCK, MRSI, 7T

Motivation: Using 31P MRS combined with magnetization transfer (MT) experiments including saturation transfer or inversion transfer to assess chemical exchange rate of creatine kinase (kCK) in the human brain are time-consuming and limited to 1D-acquisitions.

Goal(s): Acquiring a 3D whole brain kCK map.

Approach: In this abstract, we introduce an advanced, fast 3D-31P-MRF sequence for the human brain at 7T.

Results: The novel 3D-31P-MRF approach is feasible for whole brain mapping of kCK, enabling the investigation of region-specific energy metabolism under various pathological conditions.

Impact: Using the novel 3D-31P-MR Fingerprinting approach for whole brain mapping of kCK enables us to investigate region-specific energy metabolism under various pathological conditions and may enhance our understanding of the underlying molecular and metabolic processes.
