Table 1. Multiparametric examination protocol.

T2-weighted turbo-spin echo (TSE) (TR: 7.5 ms, TE: 101 ms, ST: 3 mm, acquisition matrix of 320×320, in-plane resolution 0.56×0.56 mm)

T1-mapping: Fat-saturated 3D GRE pre-contrast sequence, flip angles of 2° and 5° (TR: 4.13 ms, TE: 2.06 ms, ST: 3 mm, acquisition matrix of 288×202)

DWI with b values of 50 and 800 mm2/s (TR: 4.9 ms, TE: 59 ms, ST: 3.675 mm, acquisition matrix of 118×118, in-plane resolution 1.69×1.69 mm). ADC-Maps were generated

TR: 4 ms, TE: 2 ms, FA: 12º, ST: 2.5, acquisition matrix of 288×288, in-plane resolution 0.56×0.56 mm with temporal resolution of 2.5 s, based on 21 spokes/frame after administration of 0.01 mmol/kg gadoterate meglumine (Dotarem, Guerbet, Villepint, France)

TR, repetition time; TE, echo time; ST, slice thickness; FA, flip angle; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; GRE, gradient-echo sequence.
