FIG 2. Steady-state signals across the imaging slab of a smoothed synch radio-frequency pulse lasting for 0.9 ms in time duration, plotted for two designated flip angles of 40° (dotted line) and 70° (thin solid line) along with the ideal flip-angle profile (thick solid line), all normalized to the value at the slab center. Note that, at larger designated flip angles, the actual slab profiles for the SSFP signals tend to become wider.
