LIBRE enabled fully self-gated non-interrupted free-running 5D bSSFP imaging of the heart at 1.5T with suppressed fat signal. Measures of image quality, vessel conspicuity, and scan time compared favorably to those obtained with the more conventional non-interrupted WE and the previously published IFR, while SAR reduction offers added flexibility.
