Abstract: The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system (100). Machine executable instructions cause a processor controlling the MRI system to control (200) the magnetic resonance imaging system with the pulse sequence commands to acquire the magnetic resonance data. The pulse sequence commands are configured for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system to acquire the magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance fingerprinting protocol. The pulse sequence commands are configured for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system to acquire the magnetic resonance data during multiple pulse repetitions (302). The pulse sequence commands are configured for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system to cause gradient induced spin rephasing at least twice during each of the multiple pulse repetitions using a gradient magnetic field generating system (110, 112).

Abstract: An iterative reconstruction is performed of multiple gradient echo MR imaging data to generate a reconstructed MR image (36). The iterative reconstruction uses a model (30) that links the MR imaging data and the reconstructed MR image. The model includes a parameterized magnetic field fluctuation component (32). During the performing of the iterative reconstruction, parameters of the parameterized magnetic field fluctuation component of the model are updated to optimize a cost function (40) dependent on partial derivatives of the reconstructed MR image with respect to the parameters of the parameterized magnetic field fluctuation component of the model. The image may be further processed to generate an R2* map (50), an SWI image (52), or a QSM map (54).
