"Analysis of the Discretization Error vs. Estimation Time Tradeoff of MRF Dictionary Matching and the Advantage of the Neural Net-based Approach"

Abstract

Traditional MR fingerprinting involves matching the acquired signal evolutions against a dictionary of expected tissue fingerprints to obtain thecorresponding tissue parameters. Since this dictionary is essentially a discrete representation of a physical model and the matching processamounts to brute-force search in a discretized parameter space, there arises a tradeoff between discretization error and parameter estimationtime. In this work, we investigate this tradeoff and show via numerical simulation how a neural net-based approach solves it. We additionallyconduct a phantom study using 1.5T and 3T data to demonstrate the consistency of neural net-based estimation with dictionary matching.
