Diffusion-weighted imaging acquisition parameters

Parameter Mean SD Range
Section thickness (mm) 3.03 0.22 3–5
TR (ms) 6989.76 1518.53 3550–9600
TE (ms) 99.59 3.32 59–104
Interslice gap (mm) 0.6 0.6–0.6
Sequence duration (sec) 583 168 312–984
Field strength 1.5T: n = 251 (63.9%)
3T: n = 142 (36.1%)
Matrix size 128: n = 282 (71.8%)
162: n = 106 (27.0%)
192: n = 5 (1.3%)
In-plane resolution 2.00 × 2.00 mm: n = 318 (81.0%)
1.36 × 1.36 mm: n = 46 (11.7%)
1.20 × 1.20 mm: n = 4 (1.0%)
1.13 × 1.13 mm: n = 1 (0.3%)
0.68 × 0.68 mm: n = 24 (6.1%)

Note:—– indicates that there was no SD as the interslice gap was 0.6 mm in all cases.
