Scan parameters of the saturation-recovery perfusion CMR sequences
| Sequences | Manufacturer | Magnetic field strength | Delay between saturation preparation pulse and center of k-space | TR (ms) | TE (ms) | FA (°) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TFE | Philips | 3.0 | 105 | 3.6 | 1.7 | 18 |
| k-t accelerated TFE | Philips | 3.0 | 110 | 2.7 | 0.9 | 20 |
| TFE | Philips | 1.5 | 100 | 3.8 | 1.8 | 18 |
| b-TFE | Philips | 1.5 | 100 | 2.5 | 1.2 | 50 |
| k-t accelerated b-TFE | Philips | 1.5 | 100 | 2.9 | 1.5 | 50 |
| TurboFLASH | SIEMENS | 1.5 | 255 | 156 | 1.13 | 12 |
(TR = repetition time, TE = echo time, FA = flip angle, TFE = turbo field echo, b-TFE = balanced TFE, k-t = k-space and time, TurboFLASH = turbo fast low-angle shot)
