Table 4. Comparison of SPACE vs other imaging sequences for anatomy and artefact (z-test statistic and p-value).

Parameter	Sequence	Sagittal T1	Sagittal T2	Axial T1	Axial T2
Anatomy	Test statistic	2.68	2.75	2.87	3.13
	p-valuea	<0.01b	<0.01b	<0.01b	<0.001b
Artefact	Test statistic	2.37	3.59	3.71	3.42
	p-valuea	<0.01b	<0.001b	<0.001b	<0.001b

SPACE, sampling perfection with application-optimised contrasts using different flip angle evolutions.

^ap<0.01 was set as statistically significant (allowing for multiple comparisons).
