Steady-state free precession (SSFP) MRI physics explained in Q&A format

A new publicly available tutorial covers steady-state free precession (SSFP) MRI physics in a comprehensive question-and-answer format, from basic gradient-echo principles through advanced clinical applications.

• Educational resource covering SSFP signal formation, banding artifacts, and clinical sequence variants (e.g., TrueFISP, FIESTA, balanced SSFP).
• Designed as a self-study or reference tool for radiology trainees and practicing radiologists seeking a deeper understanding of SSFP physics.
• Source is an established independent MRI physics education website (MRIQuestions.com); not a peer-reviewed study.
