Bandwidth (kHz)	125	166.7	62.5
Field of view (cm)	40	34	40
Matrix	416 × 416 × 284	320 × 256 × 152	512 × 512 × 292
Slice thickness (mm)	1.4	3	1.4
Flip angle (°)	15	15	15

Note that slice spacing in all three sequences was reduced by 50% compared to the slice thickness through interpolation during reconstruction
