Sensitivity enhancement and reduction of Gibbs artifact in T2-weighted imaging using variable tip angle excitation.

abstract：PURPOSE:To present a time-efficient technique for banding reduction in balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging using phase-cycled simultaneous multislice (SMS) acquisition with CAIPIRINHA (controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration). THEORY:The proposed technique exploits the ...
