FLAIR imaging conditions in the WAKE-UP trial

  • 1.5 or 3 T

  • Whole-brain inversion recovery imaging

  • Repetition time (TR):> 8000 ms

  • Inversion time (TI): device-dependent (approximately 2300 ms at 1.5 T, approximately 2600 ms at 3.0 T)

  • Echo time (TE): device-dependent (100–140 ms at 1.5 T, 95–125 ms at 3.0 T)

  • Number of excitation (average): 1

  • Field of view (FOV): 220–300 mm

  • Acquisition matrix: ≥192 × 128 (1.5 T) / ≥256 × 92 (3 T)

  • Slice thickness: 5–7 mm

  • Gap: Maximum 20%
