  1. Data of 15 patient images are included in the acceleration factor two comparison and of 13 patients in the acceleration factor four comparison. Volumes were measured using the BET and Sienax algorithms of FSL in addition to the BMAP/Volstat in-house software. Volumes are measured in cm3 with the exception of BPF, which is unitless.
