The imaging session consisted of a 10-second 3-plane scout scan and a sagittally acquired spoiled gradient recalled sequence (FOV = 25 cm, matrix = 192 × 256, 172 sagittally acquired slices 1-mm thick, TR = 8 ms, TE = 3 ms, flip angle = 12°). Moreover, 256 axially acquired T2*-weighted echo-planar images (EPIs) were gathered (FOV = 23 cm, matrix = 64 X 64, 30 slices 2.6-mm thick, gap = 1.4 mm, TR = 2000 ms, TE = 32 ms, flip angle = 90°) with an 8-channel brain array coil.
