[0023] Magnetic resonance fingerprinting ("MRF") is a technique that facilitates the mapping of tissue or other material properties based on random or pseudo-random measurements of the object or objects being imaged. In particular, MRF can be conceptualized as a series of changing "sequence blocks" that simultaneously produce different signal evolutions in different "resonance species" of applied RF. As used herein, the term "resonant species" refers to materials that can be made to resonate using NMR, such as water, fat, bone, muscle, soft tissue, and the like. For example, when radio frequency ("RF") energy is applied to a volume with bone and muscle tissue, both bone and muscle tissue will generate a nuclear magnetic resonance ("NMR") signal; however, the "bone signal" represents the first resonance species , the "muscle signal" represents the second resonance category, so the two signals will be different. These different signals from different species can be collected si...
