Nontriggered Cartesian steady-state free precession phase-contrast MR
Introduction: Nontriggered phase-contrast (PC)-MR has been proposed for measurement of time-averaged velocity [1]. However, gradient-echo PC-MR is biased by in-flow enhancement when typical flip angles and slice widths are used, leading to velocity overestimation [2]. We hypothesize that nontriggered PCsteady state free precession (SSFP), which exhibits less signal variation over the cardiac cy...

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 refocused spins alternates for each resonant frequency interval equal to the reciprocal of the sequence repetiti...
متن کاملMR angiography using steady-state free precession.
Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) using steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences is described. Using SSFP, vascular structures can be visualized with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a substantial (delay) time after the initial arterial pass of contrast media. The peak blood SSFP signal was diminished by <20% 30 min after the initial administration of 0.2 mmol/kg of Gd-che...
متن کاملPhase preparation in steady-state free precession MR elastography.
Strain and motion measurements in balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging require high magnetic field homogeneity. This requirement is due to the nonlinear signal response to spin phase variations in bSSFP. Here, a technique that utilizes background gradients for preparing strong in-plane spin phase variations is proposed. As a result, periodic patterns of increased motion sensiti...
متن کاملResting-State fMRI Using Passband Balanced Steady-State Free Precession
OBJECTIVE Resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) has been increasingly used for understanding brain functional architecture. To date, most rsfMRI studies have exploited blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast using gradient-echo (GE) echo planar imaging (EPI), which can suffer from image distortion and signal dropout due to magnetic susceptibility and inherent long echo time. In this s...
