Abstract:
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is increasingly being used to evaluate brain development and differentiate normal and pathologic tissues in children. MRF can provide reliable and accurate intrinsic tissue properties, such as T1 and T2 relaxation times. MRF is a powerful tool in evaluating brain disease in pediatric population. MRF is a new quantitative MR imaging technique for rapid and simultaneous quantification of multiple tissue properties.
