## Abstract ## Purpose To present a pictorial description of the origin of flow effects in balanced steadyβstate free precession (SSFP) imaging that can result in considerable frequency offsetβdependent signal changes originating from outflow of spins that can still contribute to the total SSFP si

## Abstract ## Purpose To compare an optimized water selective balanced steadyβstate free precession sequence (WSβbSSFP) with conventional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences in imaging cartilage of osteoarthritic knees. ## Materials and Methods Flip angles of sagittal and axial WSβbSSFP sequences
Steady-state free precession imaging is a promising technique for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as it provides improved blood/myocardial contrast in shorter acquisition times compared with conventional gradient-echo acquisition. The better contrast could improve observer agreement and au
