We successfully tested a Monte-Carlo framework in the context of MR vascular fingerprinting to assess the encoding capacity of MRF sequences. We showed the clear influence of the vascular geometry in the simulations.
Figure 1: Reconstruction errors obtained for each sequence and each pattern, as well as an example of noised fingerprint. The signal annulations in the qRF-MRF sequence made the ratio impracticable. Direct match on 2D-based dictionaries, 10 000 signals each.
Figure 4: Results obtained with the GESFIDSE (TE=60ms) concatenation pattern. Vf estimates on animal data with the different dictionaries generated, as well as examples of the geometries. Regression-based reconstruction on 3D-based dictionary, 15 000 signals each.
