✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We present an imaging technique that affords direct and noninvasive visualization of brain surface structure. This technique utilizes the signal before the rf pulse in steady‐state free precession. This signal highly reflects the spin‐spin relaxation time T~2~, as was studied in our laboratory (Matsui et al. J. Magn. Reson. 62 12, 1985). Therefore the cerebrospinal fluid (CSf), having a long T~2~, is depicted as high intensity. The CSF permeates cerebral sulci and fissures. The imaging time with this technique is less than 1 min. © 1992 Academic Press, Inc.

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

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 propose

## Abstract Fully refocused steady‐state free precession (SSFP) is a rapid, efficient imaging sequence that can provide diagnostically useful image contrast. In SSFP, the signal is refocused midway between excitation pulses, much like in a spin‐echo experiment. However, in SSFP, the phase of the re
