Simultaneous opposed-phase and in-phase real-time radial FLASH CMR. T1-weighted images (spoiled multi-echo FLASH, TR = 3.1 ms, flip angle 8°, 11 spokes) of a short-axis view with (a) an opposed-phase (TE = 1.3 ms) and (b) in-phase condition (TE = 2.4 ms) for overlapping water and fat signals (2.0 mm resolution, 8 mm section thickness, 34 ms total acquisition time). The images cover a post-systolic expansion phase by every second frame (68 ms apart). They were selected from respective real-time CMR movies reconstructed by nonlinear inversion and zoomed by a factor of 1.5.
