AB - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Refocused steadystate free precession (SSFP) is limited by its high sensitivity to local field variation, particularly at high field strengths or the long repetition times (TRs) necessary for high resolution. Several methods have been proposed to reduce SSFP banding artifact by combining multiple phasecycled SSFP acquisitions, each differing in how individual signal magnitudes and phases are combined. These include maximumintensity SSFP (MISSFP) and complexsum SSFP (CSSSFP). The reduction in SSFP banding is accompanied by a loss in signaltonoise ratio (SNR) efficiency. In this work a general framework for analyzing banding artifact reduction, contrast, and SNR of any multipleacquisition SSFP combination method is presented. A new sumofsquares method is proposed, and a comparison is performed between each of the combination schemes. The sumofsquares SSFP technique (SOSSSFP) delivers both robust banding artifact reduction and higher SNR efficiency than other multipleacquisition techniques, while preserving SSFP contrast.
