"The underlying process is acquiring data in a pseudorandom manner resulting in a unique pattern of signal evolution unique to that tissue – thus the term 'fingerprinting' 1. The sequences used vary but are typically gradient echo sequences such as steady-state free precession (SSFP) and fast imaging with steady-state free precession (FISP) 1,2."
"These unique signal evolutions are then matched to a pre-defined 'dictionary' of signal fingerprints, allowing quantitative maps of T1, T2, proton density, and diffusion to be generated 1."
