✦ Synopsis

IVIM MR imaging is a method which generates images of diffusion and perfusion in vivo. Until now, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) images have been obtained using spin-echo sequences with extragradient pulses, resulting in long acquisition times (typically 2 x 8 min 32 s). A new method is proposed here, using steady-state free precession (SSFP), which allows IVIM images to be obtained in a couple of minutes. Phantom studies showed that the sensitivity of SSFP to IVIMs is much greater than that of spin echoes. In vivo images are shown.

## 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

The purpose of this paper is to review the basic principles of diffusion measurement with spin echoes. These principles can be combined with those of MR imaging to generate maps of diffusion coefficients. Diffusion imaging can be extended to imaging of other intravoxel incoherent motions (IVIM), suc

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

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 The formerly proposed concept for magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) using balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) image acquisitions is in this work extended to nonbalanced protocols. This allows SSFP‐based MTI of targets with high susceptibility variation (such as the musculosk
