  • Publication number: 20250244430
    Abstract: Systems and methods for radiofrequency (RF) pulse design are provided. A method includes defining a target slice profile across a slice dimension and simulating a first echo having a first slice profile generated in response to a first one or more RF pulses. The method also includes simulating a second echo having a second slice profile generated in response to a second one or more RF pulses. The method further includes determining pulse parameters of at least one RF pulse for acquiring MRI data from the imaging target by reducing a cost function. The cost function includes a comparison term that calculates a difference between the first slice profile and the second slice profile and a target term that calculates a difference between the target slice profile and at least one of the first slice profile and the second slice profile.

  • Patent number: 11971467
    Abstract: A method for free-breathing abdominal magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) includes applying a pilot tone (PT) RF signal in an MRI system environment using a PT RF signal source, acquiring MRF data from a region of interest in subject using free-breathing MRF pulse sequence and acquiring PT navigator signals based on the applied PT RF signal. The PT navigator signals are associated with a plurality of respiratory states and are encoded with acquired MRF data. The method further includes generating images for each of the plurality of respiratory states based on MRF data and the PT navigator signals. For each respiratory state, the generated images for the respiratory state are compared to a respiratory state MRF dictionary associated with the respiratory state to determine tissue property of the MRF data associated with the respiratory state. A quantitative parameter map may be generated for the determined tissue properties for each respiratory state.
