Table 2.

Qualitative measures for the images acquired using a diaphragmatic navigator with 5 mm gating window (Reference), 15 mm gating window with correction using the proposed motion compensation algorithm using 3, 5, and 15 bins, respectively.

Parameter (n=11) Reference (Ref) MC (3 bins) MC (5 bins) MC (15 bins) MC (3 bins) vs. Ref MC (5 bins) vs. Ref MC (15 bins) vs. (3 bins) MC (15 bins) vs. (5 bins)
RCA visual score 3.4 ± 0.7 3.0±0.9 3.2±0.9 3.3 ± 0.6 0.12 0.5 0.37 1.00
LAD visual score 2.6 ± 1.3 2.6±0.8 2.9±1.3 3.1 ± 0.8 1.00 0.53 0.06 1.00
LCX visual score 2.7 ± 1.3 2.5±0.9 2.8±1.3 3.0 ± 1.0 0.68 1.00 0.06 0.62

Ref = Reference, MC = Motion-corrected, RCA = right coronary artery, LAD = left anterior descending, and LCX = left circumflex. All values are reported as mean ± one standard deviation. Statistically significant p-values reported in the last three columns, are in bold.
