Diffusion MRI parameters for the abbreviated VERDICT model
| b value (s/mm2) | ∆/∂ (ms) | Echo time (ms) | |G| (mT/m) | Number of averages | Acceleration factor | Full readout bandwidth (Hz) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 | 23.5/4.7 | 49.3 | 49.4 | 8 | 2 | 200,000 |
| 500 | 31.3/12.2 | 64.3 | 41.5 | 8 | 2 | 200,000 |
| 1500 | 43.4/25.8 | 91.4 | 30.1 | 8 | 2 | 200,000 |
| 2000 | 32.1/16.5 | 72.7 | 75.8 | 8 | 2 | 200,000 |
| 3000 | 43.8/24.8 | 89.4 | 43.9 | 8 | 2 | 200,000 |
The following are the parameters used for the shortened protocol: ∆ is the time separation between the gradient pulses, ∂ is the duration of the pulses and |G| is the combined gradient strength of the diffusion encoding
