From: 50 Myocardial signal behaviors of balanced SSFP imaging at 3 T
The appearance of myocardium in balanced SSFP images is influenced by imperfect slice profiles, off-resonance, and flip angle variation. We demonstrate accurate myocardial signal prediction using models that consider these three practical factors. (a-d) Cardiac cine images with different prescribed flip angles. (e) The normalized myocardial signals (measured, conventional way, A+B, A+B+C) as a function of the prescribed flip angle.
