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

## Abstract The transient phase of short–TR steady‐state free precession (SSFP) sequences exhibits an often striking complexity and is not only important for nonequilibrium applications (e.g., rapid __T__~1~–measurements), but can also cause severe artifacts in conventional imaging. In both cases,
## Abstract ## Purpose To compare an optimized water selective balanced steady‐state free precession sequence (WS‐bSSFP) with conventional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences in imaging cartilage of osteoarthritic knees. ## Materials and Methods Flip angles of sagittal and axial WS‐bSSFP sequences
## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate the use of cine‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a steady‐state free precession sequence to monitor and assess small bowel motility. ## Materials and Methods: Sequential MRI, using a balanced steady‐state free precession sequence, was performed in eight h
