¹To further compare differences of the directly computed signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and contrast-to-noise-ratios (CNR) values (non-adjusted), the obtained results for each sequence were adjusted to a voxel of 1 mm³ x 1 mm³ x 1 mm³, by applying an associated conversion factor. Sequences with statistically significant superior SNR and CNR values compared to T2-TSE imaging (paired t-test) are denoted. T1-GRE: T1-weighted gradient-echo; T2-TSE: T2-turbo spin-echo; SWI: Susceptibility-weighted imaging; MIP: Minimum intensity projections transversal; tra: Transversal; cor: Coronal; sag: Sagittal.
