Convex gradient optimization for increased spatiotemporal resolution and improved accuracy in phase contrast MRI.

abstract：:The theoretical description of steady state free precession (SSFP) sequences is generally well accepted and unquestioned, although it is based on instantaneously acting radiofrequency (RF) pulses. In practice, however, all excitation processes are finite, thereby questioning the overall validity of the common SSFP sig...
