Noncontrast free-breathing respiratory self-navigated coronary artery cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography at 3 T using lipid insensitive binomial off-resonant excitation (LIBRE)
Jessica A. M. Bastiaansen, Ruud B. van Heeswijk, Matthias Stuber +1
Robust and homogeneous lipid suppression is mandatory for coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) since coronary arteries are commonly embedded in fat. However, effective lar…

Multi-slice passband bSSFP fMRI at ultra-high field
Olivier Reynaud, Analina R. da Silva, Rolf Gruetter +1
Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) can be used as an alternative to gradient-echo (GE) EPI for BOLD functional MRI when image distortions and signal drop-outs are severe…
