Table 2.

Results of average ± standard deviation results of the qualitative and quantitative image parameters. Table 2A demonstrates quantitative parameters, which include the prescribed scan time, comparing RRC and HRC in healthy volunteers. Note prescribed scan times generally differ from the actual times and are presented for theoretical technique comparison. Table 2B displays the results of image quality score in healthy volunteers. Table 2C compares the quality score values for HRC in patients and healthy volunteers. Table 2D shows the increase in sharpness and drop in SNR, CNR values of HRC in relation to RRC in healthy volunteers. P values less than 0.05 or 0.025 (when Bonferroni correction is applied) are statistically significant and displayed in red. (Myo= myocardium; Bld = Blood)
