Title:
AN EFFICIENT APPROACH TO OPTIMAL EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE FINGERPRINTING WITH B-SPLINES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/212709
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of performing a diagnostic scan of a subject comprises defining a set of data acquisition parameter sequences, defining a set of upper bounds and a set of lower bounds for each of the set of data acquisition parameter sequences, defining a set of representative tissue parameters for a tissue of the subject, selecting a set of basis functions, calculating values for a set of basis function coefficients to yield a piecewise polynomial representation of each of the set of data acquisition parameter sequences within the sets of upper and lower bounds based on the set of desired tissue parameters, and performing a diagnostic scan of the subject using the calculated data acquisition parameter sequences.
