    Abstract: A system and method is provided for correcting receiver bias during quantitative proton density mapping with magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). The method comprises acquiring MRF data from a region of interest in a subject by performing a pulse sequence using a series of varied sequence blocks to elicit a series of signal evolutions. The method further comprises comparing the MRF data to a MRF dictionary to simultaneously map proton density and another tissue property from the region of interest, the proton density map having a proton density signal and a receiver sensitivity profile signal. The method also includes quantifying the proton density signal and the receiver sensitivity profile signal using parameters provided by the proton density map and the tissue property map, and generating a quantitative map from the region of interest based on the proton density signal.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with NMR fingerprinting are described. One example NMR apparatus includes an NMR logic that repetitively and variably samples a (k, t, E) space associated with an object to acquire a set of NMR signals that are associated with different points in the (k, t, E) space. Sampling is performed with t and/or E varying in a non-constant way. The NMR apparatus may also include a signal logic that produces an NMR signal evolution from the NMR signals, and a characterization logic that characterizes a resonant species in the object as a result of comparing acquired signals to reference signals. The NMR signal evolution may be assigned to a cluster based on the characterization of the resonant species. Cluster overlay maps may be produced simultaneously based, at least in part, on the clustering. The clusters may be associated with different tissue types.
