| Abstract: | 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. |
