Balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) is prone
to local field inhomogeneities, typically appearing as
signal voids, i.e. banding-artifacts. A new method,
termed true constructive interference in steady state
(trueCISS), is proposed based on the acquisition of
eight highly undersampled bSSFP k-spaces with different
radio-frequency (RF) phase increments. A model-based
non-linear inversion is used to fit the bSSFP signal
model onto the undersampled data, effectively estimating
parameter maps that allow synthesizing the genuine bSSFP
signal over the whole image, thus without any noticeable
banding artifacts.
