Images acquired from a healthy volunteer at 1.5 T using conventional linear-encoding (a, d), alternating-centric-encoding (b, e), and the proposed linear-centric-encoding (c, f). Homogenous signal intensity is achieved using linear-encoding. However, fat suppression is suboptimal as indicated by white arrow in images (a) and (d). By collecting low k-space lines at time points close to the fat saturation pulse, fat signal is effectively suppressed using centric-encoding. Flow and eddy current induced artifacts using ACE acquisition (black arrows in images b and e) are markedly reduced with LCE PE order. The right coronary artery is sharply depicted with LCE acquisition as shown in image (f).
