Abstract: Black-blood-prepared fast spin-echo (FSE) imaging is a widely used technique for cardiovascular imaging. To avoid fold-over artifacts, a sufficiently large field of view (FOV) in fold-over direction has to be selected. Nevertheless, respiratory artifacts originating from the moving chest wall are commonly observed. While enlarging the FOV leads to an increase in scanning time, motion artifacts have a detrimental impact on image quality. To address these issues, limiting the FOV in fold-over direction using pre-pulses has been proposed [ 1 , 2 ]. While promising results have been obtained, additional pre-pulses are required and the quality of the suppression outside of the desired FOV is T1-dependent.
