However, the long acquisition time of the conventional quantitative method prohibited its adoption in the clinic. The recently proposed Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is a novel framework that simultaneously quantifies multiple tissue properties using pseudorandom acquisition parameters. It breaks the convention of MRI which acquires a steady- state signal with fixed acquisition parameters, and thus MRF can exploit all degrees of freedom in the pulse sequence design. With nearly unlimited choices of sequence parameters, the thesis explored and presented MRF methods based on the QUick Echo Split NMR technique (QUEST) to reduce the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), the Fast Imaging with Steady-state Precession (FISP) to improve the performance with off-resonance, the Double Echo Steady-state (DESS) to quantify diffusion, and a Simultaneous MultiSlice (SMS) MRF to further reduce the acquisition time. The development of these novel methods improves the robustness of MRF and have the potential to extend MRF to wide ranges of applications. 2017-02-08 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1480691677961147 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1480691677961147 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
