TR = repetition time; TE = echo time; FOV = field-of-view; BRAVO–T1-weighted inversion recovery prepped fast spoiled gradient-echo; CUBE–T1-weighted fast spin-echo; FLAIR–fluid attenuated inversion recovery.

In case of varying parametric values between field strength,’/’ notation is given (1.5T / 3T)
