Parameter | Scanned with default parameters | Scanned with modified parameters | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Default parameters | Number subjects | Modified parameters | Number subjects | |
TR (ms) | 150 – 175 (higher if required to accommodate whole liver imaging) | 83 | 100 – 110 | 3 |
% Phase FOV | 70 – 100 | 84 | 65 | 2 |
Parallel imaging | None | 84 | ASSET acceleration factor 2 | 2 |
Note: TR = repetition time, FOV = field of view, ASSET = Array Spatial Sensitivity Encoding Technique
