We corrected magnetic field inhomogeneities with a shimming protocol applied to a water-filled Eppendorf prior to imaging. We used ParaVision 360 version 3.4 to acquire the images in the 3 T MRI scanner. We acquired the magnetic resonance proton images using a T 1 FLASH sequence with the following acquisition parameters: echo time 9 ms, repetition time 425 ms, 60º flip angle, 4 averages, 192x128 image pixel size, 10x40 field of view, 20 mm thickness, 1 slice, 2 dummy scans of 849.787 ms, acquired with linear encoding, a bandwidth of 13888.9 Hz, a working frequency of 127.64 M Hz and a working chemical shift of 4.7 ppm.
