Abstract: MRI is a powerful imaging technique that allows for the characterization of important material or tissue properties. While qualitatively weighted MR images are widely used in clinical routines, advanced quantitative measurements are limited by prohibitively long scan times. The focus of this talk is to provide an overview of quantitative measurements in MRI, current research areas on acceleration methods, and how advanced approaches, such as MR fingerprinting, are generating accurate information at an unprecedented speed.
