Optimal parameters for transverse orientation for different resolutions and when using parallel imaging. (I) in-plane resolution of 3 × 3 mm², matrix size of 64 × 64 and slice thickness of 3 mm, (II) in-plane resolution of 2 × 2 mm², matrix size of 96 × 96 and slice thickness of 2 mm and (III) parameters as in (II), using parallel imaging with GRAPPA, factor 2. As a measure of generalizability, the standard deviation for the BS-gain across subjects is listed.
