Excerpt
While MRI in the routine clinical setting relies on the qualitative and subjective assessment of contrast-weighted images by human observers (e.g. radiologists), there has been increasing clinical and research demands to develop quantitative imaging tools for objective tissue characterisation. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) has shown potential beyond traditional diagnostics and qualitative MRI for disease detection, monitoring and therapeutic response assessment contributing to precision medicine. However, qMRI typically requires the parametric encoding of tissue properties in the acquisition and extraction of the encoded parameter in the reconstruction and post-processing. A detailed outline of the basic physics underpinning qMRI methods is provided in Seiberlich et al [
