## 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
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.
