Fourier Decomposition pulmonary MRI similarly to other
proton techniques suffers from a low signal to noise
ratio in the lung parenchyma and would benefit from
being performed at higher field strength. However the
bSSFP sequence used in the standard approach is not well
suited for this due to its high dependency on T2*. This
submission works on improving FD MRI at higher field
strength by finding a replacement for the standard
sequence.
