Overview of the scanning parameters used for the five acquisition sequences and the reference study. Note (in red) that the sequence $M B 1 S 2_{3 x 3 x 3.3}^{2.00}$ has a coarser spatial resolution compared to the other sequences. The sequence $M B 4 S {1.5}_{2.7 i s o}^{0.70}$ differs from $M B 4 S 2_{2.7 i s o}^{0.63}$ in the SENSE acceleration and not in MB factor. Reference study was collected with a different set of subjects and a different scanner. It is used to compare some results from this study.
