• Abstract summary: Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is a novel technique that simultaneously estimates multiple tissue-related parameters. MRF method suffers from aliasing artifacts because it significantly undersamples the k-space data. We propose a compressed sensing (CS) framework for simultaneously estimating multiple tissue-related parameters.

• Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is a novel technique that simultaneously estimates multiple tissue-related parameters, such as the longitudinal relaxation time T1, the transverse relaxation time T2, off resonance frequency B0 and proton density, from a scanned object in just tens of seconds. However, the MRF method suffers from aliasing artifacts because it significantly undersamples the k-space data. In this work, we propose a compressed sensing (CS) framework for simultaneously estimating multiple tissue-related parameters based on the MRF method. It is more robust to low sampling ratio and is therefore more efficient in estimating MR parameters for all voxels of an object. Furthermore, the MRF method requires identifying the nearest atoms of the query fingerprints from the MR-signal-evolution dictionary with the L2 distance. However, we observed that the L2 distance is not always a proper metric to measure the similarities between MR Fingerprints. Adaptively learning a distance metric from the undersampled training data can significantly improve the matching accuracy of the query fingerprints. Numerical results on extensive simulated cases show that our method substantially outperforms stateof-the-art methods in terms of accuracy of parameter estimation.

  We devise a tool to determine the appropriate sampling rate for learning an accurate neural implicit field without undesirable side effects. It is observed that a PE-equipped has an intrinsic frequency much higher than the highest frequency component in the PE layer. We empirically show in the setting of SDF fitting, this recommended sampling rate is sufficient to secure accurate fitting results.
