Multiparametric mapping accounting for flow: MR angiography in the transient-state PSMR 2018: 7th Conference on PET/MR and SPECT/MR (bib) |

Quantitative Transient-state Imaging (QTI) is a non- random, dictionary-less MR Fingerprinting alternative. Through iterative reconstructions, QTI recovers a series of contrast-weighted images from transient-state acquisitions and subse- quently estimates the parameters that best describe the resulting dynamic signal evolutions. Here, we extend the QTI framework by incorporating a simple velocity model that accounts for blood flowing into and out of the imaging slice. The model, however wrong, can be very useful: it predicts signal hyperintensities in the presence of flow, allowing for the simultaneous reconstruction of MR Angiography images, hundreds of dynamic contrast-weighted images, and their corresponding parametric maps. | ||
