Combined geometric and algebraic solutions for removal of bSSFP banding artifacts with performance comparisons.

abstract：:The long readout times of single-shot acquisitions and the high field strengths desired for functional MRI (fMRI) using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast make functional scans sensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneity. If it is not corrected during image reconstruction, field inhomogeneity can cause ge...
