Table 2. Details of scan orders of post-contrast T1WI sequences for all patients.
Scan orders | Patient number | Interval time between contrast injection and the beginning of each sequence acquisition |
---|---|---|
A—B—C | 12 | 1 min—6 min 21 s—12 min 18 s |
A—C—B | 13 | 1 min—6 min 21 s—11 min 54 s |
B—C—A | 14 | 1 min—6 min 57 s—12 min 30 s |
B—A—C | 12 | 1 min—6 min 57 s—12 min 18 s |
C—A—B | 14 | 1 min—6 min 33 s—11 min 54 s |
C—B—A | 12 | 1 min—6 min 33 s—12 min 30 s |
A represents post-contrast MPRAGE sequence; B represents post-contrast PETRA sequence; C represents post-contrast DANTE-SPACE sequence. T1WI, T1-weighted imaging; DANTE-SPACE, delay alternating with nutation for tailored excitation sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution; MPRAGE, magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo; PETRA, pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition.
