Table 1.

The parameters of three phantom and simulation cases.

Case 1: Single slice
RF pulse (duration/TBW) effective TR/TE slice thickness /slice gap (edge to edge) flip angle
truncated sinc
1000μs
TBW = 2		 3.2/1.5ms 5mm
single slice		 8 to 50 degrees in 2 degree increments
Case 2: Three interleaved slices with large inter-slice distance
RF pulse (duration/TBW) effective TR/TE slice thickness /slice gap (edge to edge) flip angle
truncated sinc
1000μs
TBW = 2		 9.6/1.5ms 5mm /15mm 8 to 50 degrees in 2 degree increments
Case 3: Three interleaved slices with large inter-slice distance
RF pulse (duration/TBW) effective TR/TE slice thickness /slice gap (edge to edge) flip angle
truncated sinc
1000μs
TBW = 2		 9.6/1.5ms 5mm /0mm 8 to 50 degrees in 2 degree increments
