FIG 6. Images acquired from a 23-year-old man healthy subject showing comparison of section aliasing artifacts in 3D SSFP imaging, as a function of the designated flip angle. The 8th anterior section in a 36-section volume acquired with a designated flip angle of 70° (A), exhibits prominent aliased signals from CSF (arrows). By lowering the flip angle to 50° (B) and 30° (C), the section aliasing decreases (arrows) and becomes invisible, respectively. Also note the continuous reduction in the contrast between CSF and brain parenchyma from A to C.
