Abstract
In order to positively decrease the band artifact on the middle of image when the field ununiformity is relatively fair and Nex is small, the present invention provides a phase cycling method for use in SSFP pulse sequence of a gradient echo system for rolling back the phase shift of lateral magnetization developed in TR by the gradient field prior to the next RF excitation, by identifying the RF transmission phase developing the band artifact in the vicinity of zero amount of phase shift, namely the repetition of 0-0-0-0 (degrees) as unusable RF transmission phase to use a plurality of RF transmission phases other than the unusable RF transmission phase for the phase cycling.
