Table 3.

Mean CNR and conspicuity scores for the right and left common femoral arteries. Reported values represent mean ± standard deviation. In the right common femoral artery, the CNR and conspicuity scores were significantly different between the three groups and within each pair of groups (p < 0.0001), whereas in the left common femoral artery the CNR and conspicuity scores were not significantly different between the groups (p > 0.5).
