TABLE 1.
Parameters of all imaging experiments. The most important scan parameters are the target T 2*, the bandwidth (BW), the field of view (FOV), the readout gradient (G) (used to encode the outer k‐space [c.f. Figure 1B]), the voxel size (Δr), the matrix size (M), the dead time (Δt), the k‐space gap (k gap), the number of signal averages (NSA), the pulse type, the pulse duration (Pul. dur), the coil type and the scanner field strength (B0). More details are provided in the supporting information
