If by echo time you mean echo spacing, that looks right to me.

Peace,

Matt.

Subject:  [FSL] topup effective echo time calculation?

I just want to check my calculations to make sure I have gotten a reasonable
number back.
Here's what I understand:

Total readout time is the echo spacing (dwell time) times the number of
phase encoding steps.  If you use grappa, divide the number of phase
encoding steps by the grappa factor.

Here's what the tech and I calculated

echo time 0.94 ms, phase encoding steps=128

(128*.00094)/2=0.06016 sec

Is this correct?

Thankyou,

Dianne
