Bloch Simulation: bSSFP Transient Phase of 13 C - Bicarbonate TR = 9.49 ms FA = 25 deg Non-Log

Bloch simulation of the bSSFP transient phase of 13 C - Bicarbonate with TR = 9.49 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 non-log unweighted multiexponential models (center), non-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)
