Fig. 1A. —Spectrum of balanced steady-state free precession sequence when TE is one half TR. Signal magnitude (A) and phase (B) are shown as function of resonance frequency. Water and fat each fall in one high-magnitude region of spectrum but have phase difference of 180°. This phase difference is exploited in phase-sensitive SSFP.
