16 channel sense coil

Images from patients with FTD and controls were obtained using a Philips Achieva 3T scanner with a 16-channel SENSE coil. The anatomical and 3D T1-weighted images had the following parameters: TR = 7.9 ms, TE = 3.8 ms, acquisition matrix = 220 × 220, voxel size = 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm, and 310 slices, and these images were resliced to 1 × 1 × 1 mm. The blood oxygenation-dependent sequences of the entire brain were acquired in 25 axial slices by using an echoplanar imaging sequence TR = 2000, TE = 30 ms, and voxel size = 2.3. The fMRI lasted 6 minutes and the instruction to the patient was to keep their open eyes.

Images from patients were obtained using a Philips Achieva 3.0 T scanner with a 16-channel SENSE coil. As part of a standardized protocol, all subjects had an single shot echo DTI pulse sequence with 32 diffusion encoding steps and two non-diffusion weighted images: B₀ = 1000, repetition time [TR] = 7375 ms, echo time [TE] = 83.3 ms, flip angle = 90°, matrix = 128 * 128, slice thickness = 2 mm. Additionally, an anatomical and 3D T1-weighted was done with repetition time [TR] = 7.76, echo time [TE] = 3.72 ms, flip angle = 8°, matrix = 220 * 200, with slice thickness = 0.5 mm.
