Theoretical SNR efficiency. The SNR efficiency ratio of SE versus STEAM is seen to decrease with increasing heart rate. At a heart rate of 60 min^‐1, b‐value = 450 s/mm², TR/TE = 1000 ms/70 ms (SE), TR/TM/TE = 1000 ms/985/31 ms (STEAM) the relative gain in SNR efficiency of SE versus STEAM is 3.5×.
