## Abstract Among previous analyses of the steadyβstate freeβprecession (SSFP) signal in rapid MRI, one treatment resulted in equations that require the evaluation of infinite binomial series. Here, an analytical solution is derived by a transformation into the power series expansion of the derivat

β¦ Synopsis
Assuming that the SSFP magnetization response maintains a steady state which is periodic in the presence of diffusion, we can solve for the diffusion effect in such sequences. Formulating a Fourier series decomposition solution to the Bloch-Torrey equation and imposing the steady-state condition, analytical expressions describing the signal decay due to diffusion are developed. Magnetization responses for any system and sequence parameters can then be obtained. Also, sensitivity to b factor changes is quite different than standard diffusion measurement techniques. Assumptions made in the solution are verified via finite difference solutions and simulations of the Bloch-Torrey equation.
