*

It is actually a nominal resolution at a field of view of 220 mm.

**

The readout is calculated at a gradient of 36 mT/m and a slew rate of 153 mT/m/ms.

***

The efficiency is referred to as a ratio of the number of phase encodings for a rectangular sampling to the number of spiral interleaves.
