## 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,

✦ Synopsis
An NMR imaging technique sensitive to slow flow (approximately 1 mm/s) using a conventional imaging gradient strength (0.025 mT/cm) is described. Two projections with different spatial magnetic periodicity (determined by the SSFP pulse interval), and thus with different flow sensitivities, are subtracted to give signal from flows in a velocity window.
