TABLE III.

Phantom pooled sample standard deviations ± pooled standard errors of sample standard deviations, from optimized SPGR/DESS scan profiles. Each entry is a measure of uncertainty of a typical voxel’s T1 or T2 ML estimate. For sake of brevity, sample statistics corresponding only to phantom vials within (or nearly within) tight design range 𝒳t (color-coded orange in Fig. S.7) are reported. ‘V#’ abbreviates vial numbers. All values are reported in milliseconds.
