## Abstract Variable nutation SSFP (DESPOT2) permits rapid, highโresolution determination of the transverse (__T__~__2__~) relaxation constant. A limitation of DESPOT2, however, is the presence of __T__~__2__~ voids due to offโresonance banding artifacts associated with SSFP images. These artifacts

## Abstract We present an imaging technique that affords direct and noninvasive visualization of brain surface structure. This technique utilizes the signal before the rf pulse in steadyโstate free precession. This signal highly reflects the spinโspin relaxation time __T__~2~, as was studied in our
## Abstract Fully refocused steadyโstate free precession (SSFP) is a rapid, efficient imaging sequence that can provide diagnostically useful image contrast. In SSFP, the signal is refocused midway between excitation pulses, much like in a spinโecho experiment. However, in SSFP, the phase of the re
## Abstract In this work the feasibility of separating fat and water signals using the balanced steadyโstate free precession (SSFP) technique is demonstrated. The technique is based on the observation (Scheffler and Hennig, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 2003;49:395โ397) that at the nominal values
## Purpose: To develop a 3d flow-independent peripheral vessel wall imaging method using t(2)-prepared phase-sensitive inversion-recovery (t(2)psir) steady-state free precession (ssfp). ## Materials and methods: A 3d t(2)-prepared and nonselective inversion-recovery ssfp sequence was designed to
MRI can be used for monitoring temperature during a thermocoagulation treatment of tumors. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the suitability of a 3D steady-state free precession sequence (3D Fast Imaging with Steady-State Precession, 3D TrueFISP) for MR temperature measurement at 0.23 T, and
