We propose a method for banding-free reconstruction of bSSFP images using Regularized Non-Linear Inversion (NLINV). Instead of using only a few different phase cycles, we dynamically change the phase cycle in each frame, which only slightly changes the steady state. By stacking all frames together as virtual coils and using NLINV, images free of banding artifacts can be reconstructed. Since no new steady states need to be prepared, dead time is eliminated from the acquisition.
