Balanced SSFP is a promising fMRI technique due to its reduced susceptibility artifacts and high spatial and temporal resolution compared to GE-EPI. In this study, a novel multi-phase passband cine SSFP technique was introduced for event-related (ER) fMRI with a temporal resolution of 50 ms and spatial resolution of a few mm3. ER-fMRI experiment at 7T demonstrated that this technique can reliably detect the initial dip and can differentiate a time delay of 200ms in stimulus presentation. Multiphase passband SSFP is a promising fMRI technique at ultra high magnetic fields (7 Tesla).
