Isocentres at eye and hip level of magnetic resonance imaging scans, the available area for the scans (≈50 cm × 50 cm), and the scan exclusion zone. The size of the usually quadratic field of view varied with body region, scanner manufacturer (Siemens, Philips, GE), and the type of scan sequence (Table 2). The most common field of view was 23 cm × 23 cm, resulting in greater magnetic field gradients and thus more compelling testing conditions than it would be for a larger (e.g. 50 cm × 50 cm) field of view.
