Imaging protocol. The pulse sequence order was randomized.

Sequence	Purpose	Sequence Duration (s)	Repetitions	Measurement Locations
Sequence	Purpose	Sequence Duration (s)	Repetitions	SvO₂	Velocity
K-MOTIVE-left ^*	Interleaved sequence to simultaneously measure flow velocity (optimized for venous flow) with radial phase-contrast and T₂ with bSSFP readout.	21	3	Left renal vein
K-MOTIVE-right ^*				Right renal vein
K-MOTIVE-supra ^*				Suprarenal inferior vena cava
K-MOTIVE-infra ^*				Infrarenal inferior vena cava
db-K-MOTIVE ^*	Dual-band implementation of Interleaved sequence to simultaneously measure flow velocity (optimized for venous flow) with radial phase-contrast and T₂ with bSSFP readout.	21	3	Suprarenal & infrarenal inferior vena cava
db-calibration ^*	Cartesian gradient-recalled-echo sequence to determine coil sensitivity maps for slice separation in db-K-MOTIVE	12	1	Suprarenal & infrarenal inferior vena cava
Cartesian phase-contrast	Reference sequence to separately measure flow velocities in renal artery and vein (via Cartesian readout)	10	3	n.a.	Renal artery & vein

Pulse sequences marked by asterisks were repeated at each location in a second scan session on the same day (after repositioning) to evaluate short-term intersession reproducibility. Subjects were requested to perform a post-exhalation breath hold. Abbreviations: supra = suprarenal; infra = infrarenal; db = dual-band; bSSFP = balanced steady-state free precession; and T₂prep = T₂-preparation.
