Dynamically phase-cycled radial bSSFP (DYPR-SSFP) is a recently proposed method for fast, banding-free bSSFP imaging. Based on a dynamically changing phase-increment in combination with a (quasi-) randomly sampled radial trajectory, images without banding artifacts can be obtained from one single acquisition. Up to now, the DYPR-SSFP concept has been combined with a 2D radial trajectory, yielding slight artifacts due to the applied dynamic phase-increment. Here, the combination with a 3D radial trajectory is proposed, effectively mitigating this drawback and allowing the generation of 3D banding-free bSSFP images with high isotropic resolution.
