To investigate the effect of the flip angle (FA) on the blood‐myocardium contrast and to define the FA leading to highest image quality in contrast‐enhanced balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) images. bSSFP images provide excellent contrast between myocardium and blood with high signal‐to‐noise and contrast‐to‐noise ratios (SNR, CNR). In clinical practice, bSSFP images are typically acquired following the injection of extracellular contrast agents (ECAs), although ECAs decrease the blood‐myocardium contrast.
