  1. A full MPI sequence consists of multiple bursts (#bursts), which are separated in time by Δtburst. Each burst consists of multiple frames (#frames per burst) also separated in time by Δtframe (Fig. 4). With the duration of each burst (tburst) and each frame (tframe), the duty cycle can be calculated. (*) When using a single burst (see PFN measurement 1 + 2, Fig. 5), no additional delay time is used.
