Figure 8

Selected phases (diastole: upper row, systole: lower row) of cine bSSFP images (left to right: apical short axis, midlevel short axis, basal short axis, left two-chamber view, four-chamber view, right ventricular outflow tract) obtained without (a) and with the 10-pt bSSFP-L BH frequency calibration (b). The calculated frequency offsets for six slice positions are (left to right:-75 Hz, -42 Hz, -51 Hz, -46 Hz, -49 Hz,-51 Hz). Performing cine bSSFP imaging with automatically calculated frequency offset significantly reduced dark band artifacts in the cardiac structures of interest.
