Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging is prone to banding artifacts caused by magnetic field inhomogeneities.
  • Conventional methods to remove these artifacts require lengthy scan times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel and efficient approach for removing banding artifacts in bSSFP imaging.
  • To enable faster, high-resolution bSSFP acquisition despite field inhomogeneities.

Main Methods:

  • A single-shot radial acquisition technique with dynamically changing phase-cycles was employed.
  • Each projection was acquired at a distinct frequency offset.
  • Artifact-free images were reconstructed using radial gridding.

Main Results:

  • The method successfully eliminated banding artifacts at both 3.0 Tesla and 9.4 Tesla.
  • High-resolution brain imaging (0.25 × 0.25 mm²) was achieved without artifacts.
  • The technique also demonstrated applicability for fat-water separation.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamically phase-cycled radial bSSFP offers a promising solution for artifact-free imaging.
  • This method significantly reduces scan time while maintaining high resolution and robustness in challenging magnetic field conditions.
