Abstract

âº Exact CPMG simulation eliminates frequency offset effects in measured R2s. âº Grouped phase variation in CPMG removes oscillation and field-inhomogeneity effects. âº Second-order approximation provides reliable R2s to Â±12Î³B1 offset. âº Exact CPMG simulation provides reliable R2s to Â±Î³B1 offset.
