    Area of Science:

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
    • Computational Physics
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Quantitative MRI methods often rely on complex Bloch simulations for parameter estimation.
    • Current dictionary-based methods like MR Fingerprinting require high-resolution parameter grids, leading to substantial computational and memory demands.
    • Accurate multi-parametric mapping is crucial for various medical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computationally efficient method for quantitative MRI parameter mapping.
    • To reduce the memory and computational costs associated with dictionary-based MR Fingerprinting.
    • To maintain accuracy in parameter estimation while minimizing the resolution of the discrete parameter grid.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented B-spline interpolation to approximate signals between discrete grid points in a precomputed signal dictionary.
    • Developed an efficient least-squares fitting method utilizing the B-spline interpolant and its gradient for parameter mapping.
    • Evaluated the method using phantom and in-vivo data with both fully-sampled and undersampled unbalanced Fast Imaging with Steady-State Precision (FISP) acquisitions.
    • Incorporated relaxation effects (T1, T2), proton density (PD), receiver phase (φ0), transmit field inhomogeneity (B1+), and slice profile into Bloch simulations.

    Main Results:

    • The B-spline interpolation method achieved comparable parameter maps to traditional dictionary matching with significantly reduced parameter resolution (approximately one order of magnitude reduction in T1, T2, and B1+).
    • Dictionary size was drastically reduced from 1.47GB to 464KB, demonstrating substantial memory savings.
    • The proposed method exhibited similar robustness against undersampling artifacts as the conventional dictionary matching approach.
    • Achieved user-specified interpolation accuracy by minimizing parameter resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • B-spline interpolation offers an efficient alternative for dictionary-based quantitative MRI, significantly reducing computational and memory burdens.
    • This approach is a promising advancement for multi-parametric MRI, enabling faster and more accessible quantitative imaging.
    • The method maintains accuracy and robustness, making it suitable for both phantom and in-vivo applications, including undersampled acquisitions.
