Unfolding coil localized errors from an imperfect slice profile using a structured autocalibration matrix: An application to reduce outflow effects in cine bSSFP imaging.

We developed a method that effectively unfolds most outflowing spins from corrupting the target slice and does not require the explicit use of slice-encoding gradients. This development offers a method to reduce most outflow effects from the target slice within a clinically feasible scan duration compared with the fully sampled slice-encoding technique.
