✦ Synopsis

Exploration of the possibilities of steady-state free precession (SSFP) excitation has led to the discovery that it is tolerant of slow variations in spectral offset frequency. The effect has been used to eliminate banding artifacts from images obtained with the fully balanced SSFP imaging sequence.

## Abstract Steady‐state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences employing gradient reversal echoes and short repetition time (TR) between successive rf excitation pulses offer high signal‐to‐noise ratio per unit time. However, SSFP sequences are very sensitive to motion. A new SSFP method is presen

## Abstract Balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) sequences are useful in cardiac imaging because they achieve high signal efficiency and excellent blood–myocardium contrast. Spiral imaging enables the efficient acquisition of cardiac images with reduced flow and motion artifacts. Balanced S

Reversal of the read gradient in a SSFP imaging experiment allows a full spin echo to be collected in the interval T between successive rfpulses. Orthogonal gradient pulses are used to dephase and subsequently rephase the transverse magnetization each T enabling 2D or 3D Fourier techniques. The mini

## Abstract The dynamic equilibrium exploited by balanced steady‐state free precession imaging develops slowly because its formation is dependent on both spin–spin and spin–lattice relaxation times. Attempting to image before steady state is established results in artifacts due to transient signal
