We introduce an optimization framework using the longitudinal steady-state equilibrium for FLASH MRF sequences, and taking into account signal noise by using a Monte Carlo method. We use this framework to optimize echo times, flip angles, timings and recovery time for T1H2O and FF mapping while shortening our original MRF T1-FF sequence. The resulting Fast MRF T1-FF sequence yields comparable estimation results to the original sequence with an almost twice reduced acquisition time.
