In this work, we explore the decay of negative and positive steady state configurations as a mean to assess the tissue microstructure. Steady state configurations are retrieved up to a high order from an exhaustive sampling of the frequency response profile of low-angle balanced SSFP scans. Subsequently, the decay of configurations (termed DECO) is analyzed using a single-pole matrix pencil analysis yielding positive and negative DECO images. Any asymmetry in the configuration decay is directly linked to asymmetric frequency content within a voxel and is captured in the DECO difference image.
