Gradient Recalled Acquisition in Steady StateInfoSheet: - Sequences - 
Intro, 
Overview, 
Types of,

(GRASS) This sequence is very similar to FLASH, except that the spoiler pulse is eliminated. As a result, any transverse magnetization still present at the time of the next RF pulse is incorporated into the steady state. GRASS uses a RF pulse that alternates in sign. Because there is still some remaining transverse magnetization at the time of the RF pulse, a RF pulse of a degree flips the spins less than a degree from the longitudinal axis. With small flip angles, very little longitudinal magnetization is lost and the image contrast becomes almost independent of T1. Using a very short TE eliminates T2* effects, so that the images become proton density weighted. As the flip angle is increased, the contrast becomes increasingly dependent on T1 and T2*. It is in the domain of large flip angles and short TR that GRASS exhibits vastly different contrast to FLASH type sequences.

(TurboFLASH) This FLASH-based sequence use an inversion pulse followed by a low flip angle and short TR gradient echo train. This gradient echo technique forms complete images in times short compared to T1. Images obtained in this way have very little intrinsic contrast, maintaining adequate signal requires that losses (and therefore contrast).

Fast Imaging with Steady PrecessionInfoSheet: - Sequences - 
Intro, 
Overview, 
Types of, 
etc.
 
(TrueFISP) True fast imaging with steady state precession is a coherent technique that uses a fully balanced gradient waveform. The image contrast with TrueFISP is determined by T2*//T1 properties and mostly depending on TR. The speed and relative motion insensitivity of acquisition help to make the technique reliable, even in patients who have difficulty with holding their breath.
Recent advances in gradient hardware have led to a decreased minimum TR. This combined with improved field shimming capabilities and signal to noise ratio, has allowed TrueFISP imaging to become practical for whole-body applications. There's mostly T2* weighting. With the used ultrashort TR-times T1 weighting is almost impossible. One such application is cardiac cine MR with high myocardium-blood contrast. Spatial and temporal resolution can be substantially improved with this technique, but contrast on the basis of the ratio of T2* to T1 is not sufficiently high in soft tissues. By providing T1 contrast, TrueFISP could then document the enhancement effects of T1 shortening contrast agents. These properties are useful for the anatomical delineation of brain tumors and normal structures. With an increase in SNR ratio with minimum TR, TrueFISP could also depict the enhancement effect in myoma uteri. True FSIP is a technique that is well suited for cardiac MR imaging. The imaging time is shorter and the contrast between the blood and myocardium is higher than that of FLASH.
