A method of suppressing incomplete aliasing artifacts in accelerated MRI by combining inner-volume steady-state imaging with parallel imaging (GRAPPA) is proposed. Its effectiveness is evaluated across different net acceleration factors (R=1.75-3.64). The normalized root mean squared error inside the region of interest is generally suppressed by approximately a factor of 2 when inner volume excitation is adopted.
