Fig. 3A —Three-dimensional true fast imaging with steady-state free precession (true FISP) (TE = 0.8 milliseconds; flip angle, 40°; slice thickness, 6.0 mm; breath-hold, 21 seconds). Conventional implementation (TR = 7.2 milliseconds; 12 slices) (A) and time-efficient implementation (TR = 2.5 milliseconds, 32 slices) (B) images. Note aortic flow-related ghosting artifacts (thick arrows) and banding artifacts (thin arrows) in conventional implementation (A) compared with time-efficient, shorter-TR true FISP implementation (B).
