Abstract
In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance (MR) fingerprinting, an MR signal is acquired from a subject by radiating radio-frequency (RF) energy that produces an RF transmission field that has a localized amplitude in the subject. The RF energy is radiated with an RF pulse configuration that maps the localized RF field amplitude in the phase of the MR signal from the subject. The detected MR signal is compared to a source of stored MR signal physical or theoretical models that respectively map different localized RF transmission field information in the respective phase thereof, the stored models being respectively for different substances. A substance in the subject from which the detected MR signal curve originated is identified by comparing the detected MR signal curve to the stored models to identify a best match.
