High‐resolution deuterium metabolic imaging of the human brain at 9.4 T using phase‐cycled <scp>balanced SSFP</scp> spectral–spatial acquisitions
We demonstrated the feasibility of using two phase-cycled bSSFP acquisitions for off-resonance insensitive high-resolution [6,6'-<sup>2</sup>H<sub>2</sub>]-glucose DMI studies in the human brain. bSSFP acquisitions have potential to improve the sensitivity of DMI despite the SNR loss of phase-cycling and other human scanner constraints.
