Bloch Simulation: bSSFP Transient Phase of 13 C - Lactate TR = 3.16 ms FA = 25 deg Log Models

Bloch simulation of the bSSFP transient phase of 13 C - Lactate with TR = 3.16 ms and FA = 25 deg for preparation pulse delays of 0.5 TR (green, state-of-the-art) and of 1 TR (blue), fitted with log unweighted multiexponential models (center), log weighted multiexponential models (right) vs. a commonly used monoexponential model (top left). Bottom left: Compares the signal for preparation pulse delays of 0.5 TR (green, state-of-the-art) with the signal for preparation pulse delays of 1 TR (blue)
