Comparing magnitude modulation (a) and g-factor (b) at different slab overlapping factors. The slab thickness used for the simulation was 10 mm. For better visualization, only a section of the FOV in the slab direction was plotted. The slab crosstalk effect was not simulated. A flat signal modulation function in the slab direction is desirable. A flat g-factor function that approximates 1 is also desirable. Therefore, the best overlapping factor is 2 mm.
