    摘要: In a method and apparatus for determining parameter values in voxels of an examination object using magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF), a first signal comparison is made of signal characteristics of established voxel time series with first comparison signal characteristics. Further synthetic comparison signal characteristics are generated from the first comparison signal characteristics and values determined in the first signal comparison. The generated further comparison signal characteristics are used to perform a further signal comparison, with which values of at least a first and a second further parameter are determined. From the further comparison signal characteristics, a value of at least one further parameter is determined that could not necessarily already be determined in the first signal comparison.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for providing a first magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary using fingerprints having a first length. A transformation matrix is also utilized that is configured to shorten the fingerprints to a second length that is shorter than the first length. A second magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary may then be obtained by multiplying the first magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary with the transformation matrix, with the fingerprints of the magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary having the second length. This facilitates the storage of a MRF dictionary that takes up less storage space and decreases the time taken to perform scanning operations.
