✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A new ultra‐fast imaging technique that does not place extreme demands on the speed of the gradient system is described. When used with comparable MRI systems, the rotating ultra‐fast imaging sequence (RUFIS) can acquire images 4 to 5 times faster than gradient‐moment nulled EPI and more than twice as fast as DUFIS, OUFIS, or BURST techniques. Because the technique uses free induction decays instead of echoes, it can be made particularly insensitive to effects of motion, flow, and diffusion. Preliminary images of turbulent flow are presented to demonstrate this insensitivity. However, with appropriate encoding, flow effects may be imaged.

## Abstract Variable flip angles are used in steady‐state free precession (SSFP) acquisitions (e.g., time‐of‐flight) but to a lesser extent than in spin echo acquisitions. In balanced steady‐state free precession, imaging is often assumed to occur during the steady state, which has been well descri

A method for rapidly producing velocity images is presented. This sequence combines a modified bipolar gradient pulse to magnitude encode the velocity with the rotating ultra-fast imaging sequence (RUFIS) to image the encoded spins. Velocity encoding is done in 3 msec, and RUFIS acquires 32 projecti
