Comprehensive characterization of tissues with MRI, requires the quantification of multiple parameters, each providing complementary information of the tissue state or pathology. In this presentation we will explore the process of quantification that enables multi-parameter characterization of tissues, as well as its metrological properties. Quantification methods based on conventional MRI sequences and signal sensitivities are introduced and discussed, along with their advantages and technical characteristics as well as their performance in clinical use.
