## Abstract A fast and motion‐insensitive technique suitable for myocardial BOLD contrast imaging is presented. The method, termed __T__~2~‐TrueFISP, combines __T__~2~ magnetization preparation with steady‐state free precession (SSFP) imaging for __T__~2~ relaxation mapping of the myocardium in hea

## Abstract ACUT~2~E TSE‐SSFP is a hybrid between steady state free precession (SSFP) and turbo spin echo (TSE) for bright‐blood T2‐weighted imaging with signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) similar to dark‐blood TSE. TSE‐SSFP uses a segmented SSFP readout during diastole w
## Abstract The __T__~2~‐prepared balanced turbo field echo sequence has been used to measure __T__~2~ in phantoms and in vivo in the abdomen with low sensitivity to radiofrequency pulse errors. The effects of noise, errors in the pulse flip angles, and off resonance effects on the results have bee
