Magnetic resonance fingerprinting in multiple sclerosis.

Background: In this cross sectional study, we used MRF to investigate tissue properties of normal-appearing white matter, gray matter, and lesions in relapsing remitting MS (n = 21), secondary progressive MS (n = 16) and healthy controls (n = 9). A FISP-based MRF sequence was used for acquisition, imaging time 5 min 15 s. MRF T1 and T2 relaxation times were measured from lesional tissue, normal-appearing frontal white matter, corpus callous, thalamus, and caudate.
