Magnetization in the steady state

2. Magnetization in the steady state

This part illustrates the signal-off-resonance frequency characteristics at different parameter sets (T1/T2 ratio, flip angle a, and TR) as shown in the figures.
Figure 1 shows that the signal intensity of SSFP decreases when the ratio T1/T2 increases.

 Figure 2 The steady-state amplitude of b-SSFP is shown as a function of off-resonance frequencies for different TR. SSFP benefits from very short TR that allows covering a broad range of off-resonance frequencies (less sensitive to field inhomogeneity).
