Table 2. Mean T2 values of various brain regions from literature, fully sampled data, and accelerated methods.

All results shown used the EPG model in the T2 estimation. In all cases, voxelwise paired t-tests indicated that differences between fully sampled data from the present study and all accelerated acquisitions were statistically significant. Values from literature were estimated from Fig 6 in Ref 22.
