A set of eight MT-weighted images fit to a
two-pool model using a Gaussian lineshape was found to have an acceptable level
of agreement (a priori of 10%) with the reference dataset, saving
approximately 8 minutes of scan time.

maps of QMT parameters in sagittal slice of specimen 1 using a Gaussian lineshape
fit.

reference dataset for each design (1 through 8) for all qMT parameters (Top:
Gaussian, bottom: Super Lorentzian)
