Enhanced Phase-Sensitive SSFP Reconstruction for Fat-Water Separation in Phased-Array Acquisitions

Description

Purpose: To propose and assess a method to improve the reliability of phase-sensitive fat-water separation for phased-array balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) acquisitions. Phase-sensitive steady-state free precession (PS-SSFP) is an efficient fat-water separation technique that detects the phase difference between neighboring bands in the bSSFP magnetization profile. However, large spatial variations in the sensitivity profiles of phased-array coils can lead to noisy phase estimates away from the coil centers, compromising tissue classification.
