Simulated magnetization responses as a function of off-resonance frequency (shown as the precession angle per TR) for muscle (top), blood (center), and fat (lower) tissues to (i) a conventional FISP sequence, (ii) S5FP without RF spoiling, and (iii) a full S5FP sequence with gradient crushing and RF spoiling. In all cases, the TR was simulated as 3ms and α = 45° flip angle. Each S5FP train used 5 RF pulses for opening and closing subsequences, ramping from 0° to α and from α to ζ = 90°, respectively.
