 ## Variables
 - `duration`: total duration of the block in ms.
 - `slice_thickness`: slice thickness in mm.
-- `spoiler_scale`: length scale on which the spoilers achieve 2Ï€ dephasing in mm.
+- `spoiler_scale`: length scale on which the spoilers achieve 2Ï€ dephasing in mm. This sets the minimum spoiling. If this spoiling level is not achieved by the slice-select gradient alone, then there will be additional gradients added.
