Table 2.
The multimodal MRI protocols used in each of the three waves (2005, 2008, and 2011).
MRI series | Wave-1 | Wave-2 | Wave-3 |
---|---|---|---|
3D T1-WEIGHTED | |||
TR/TE/TI/FA | 9.45/2.41/450/7 | 9.1/1.77/450/7 | same as wave 2 |
Ax|VOX | 124|0.94×0.94×1.4 | same as wave 1 | same as wave 1 |
DWI | |||
TR/TE/FA | 7900/97.5/90 | 7900/106.8/90 | 7900/107.9/90 |
Ax|VOX|IM | 26|0.94×0.94×4.0|780 | 25|0.94 × 0.94 × 4.0|750 | same as wave 2 |
TR/TE/TI/FA = repetition time [ms]/echo time [ms]/inversion time [ms]/flip angle [deg]. Ax|VOX|IM = number of axial slices | voxel size [mm3] | number of images in total.
