Efficient spiral in-out and EPI balanced steady-state free precession cine imaging using a high-performance 0.55T MRI.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeLow-field MRI offers favorable physical properties for SNR-efficient long readout acquisitions such as spiral and EPI. We used a 0.55 tesla (T) MRI system equipped with high-performance hardware to increase the sampling duty cycle and extend the TR of balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) cardiac cine acquisitions, which typically are limited by banding artifacts.
methodsWe developed a high-efficiency spiral in-out bSSFP acquisition, with zeroth- and first-gradient moment nulling, and an EPI bSSFP acquisition for cardiac cine imaging using a contemporary MRI system modified to operate at 0.55T. Spiral in-out and EPI bSSFP cine protocols, with TR = 8 ms, were designed to maintain both spatiotemporal resolution and breath-hold length. Simulations, phantom imaging, and healthy volunteer imaging studies (n = 12) were performed to assess SNR and image quality using these high sampling duty-cycle bSSFP sequences.
resultsSpiral in-out bSSFP performed favorably at 0.55T and generated good image quality, whereas EPI bSSFP suffered motion and flow artifacts. There was no difference in ejection fraction comparing spiral in-out with standard Cartesian imaging. Moreover, human images demonstrated a 79% ± 21% increase in myocardial SNR using spiral in-out bSSFP and 50% ± 14% increase in SNR using EPI bSSFP as compared with the reference Cartesian acquisition. Spiral in-out acquisitions at 0.55T recovered 69% ± 14% of the myocardial SNR at 1.5T.
conclusionEfficient bSSFP spiral in-out provided high-quality cardiac cine imaging and SNR recovery on a high-performance 0.55T MRI system.
