Rater Analysis with median scores across raters.

	bSSFP compared with
	Multi-echo GRE	CUBE T2	Cor. T2-weighted FSE
Hippocampal 3D multiplanar subfields for detailed segmentation	7†	6†	6†
Hippocampal global evaluation for atrophy	7†	4	4
Deep iron visualization for presurgical multi-planar planning of the 3D location of the STN	5	6†	4
Lack of signal dropout globally (B1 homogeneity)	5	6	7†
Conspicuity of Line of Gennari in the occipital lobe	7†	6†	N/A
Conspicuity of Membrane of Lillequist	5†	6	7†
Conspicuity of Cranial Nerves III, V, and VI	7†	7†	7†
Cortical Gray-White Contrast	7†	2†	2†

^†p < 0.002 for the null hypothesis that bSSFP is equivalent. 1=bSSFP much worse, 7=bSSFP much better. N/A: the field of view of the coronal T2-weighted FSE did not include the calcarine sulcus.
