## 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

## Abstract A novel concept for visualization of positive contrast originating from susceptibility‐related magnetic field distortions is presented. In unbalanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) the generic, gradient‐induced dephasing competes with local gradient fields generated by paramagnetic
## Abstract Balanced‐steady‐state free precession (b‐SSFP) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) encompasses several recently developed methods that utilize b‐SSFP acquisition for fMRI. Short repetition time (__T__~R~) and readout durations of b‐SSFP allow distortion‐free acquisition, 3D ima
A fast imaging technique, missing pulse steady-state free precession (MP-SSFF'), is described. MP-SSFP is one of a class of steady-state free precession techniques in which every nth RF pulse is missing. MP-SSFF' has been implemented for the case where every third R F pulse is omitted: ). A RF-refo
## 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,
