* For “reps before pause”, ALWAYS choose “none”. Use a TR that is short enough so that the acquisition is completed during a single 20-25 sec suspended respiration. To obtain more than 7 slices, it is necessary to prescribe an additional stack of images, overlapping the last slice of one acquisition with the first slice of the next.
# Always obtain at least one set of these images, even if gadolinium is not given.
