Abstract
A method of reducing artifacts in steady-state free precession (SSFP) signals for use in magnetic resonance imaging is provided. A plurality of SSFP imaging sequences is applied to an object. An imaging data for each of the SSFP imaging sequences is acquired. The imaging data is combined using a weighted combination where weights depend on a control parameter that adjusts a trade-off between banding artifact reduction and signal to noise ratio (SNR).
