磁共振指纹（MRF）通过将采集到的MR信号时间序列与Bloch或EPG模拟字典中的条目匹配来估计组织参数，但目前尚无研究证明匹配结果的唯一性。在本人此前的两项研究中，通过穷尽式目标映射发现，对于两种广泛使用的MRF序列，归一化相关目标函数在真实T1/T2值处呈现单一主导峰，且远离该峰时平滑下降。这些经验特性推动了不使用预生成信号字典的快速MRF-ZOOM搜索算法，但它们的理论基础仍不完善。本研究的目的是建立归一化相关匹配下MRF匹配目标函数的数学框架。
英文摘要
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) estimates tissue parameters by matching an acquired MR signal time course to entries in a Bloch- or EPG-simulated dictionary. However, no study has yet proven the uniqueness of the matching results. In two earlier studies by exhaustive objective mapping I showed that for two widely used MRF sequences the normalized-correlation objective exhibits a single dominant peak at the true T1/T2 values and decreases smoothly away from that peak. These empirical properties motivated the fast MRF-ZOOM search algorithm even without using a pre-generated signal dictionary, but their theoretical basis has remained incomplete. The purpose of this work is to develop a mathematical framework for the MRF matching objective under normalized-correlation matching.
