Table 1(b).

Qualitative comparison between GRASP and GROG-GRASP for two contrast-enhancement phases. No significant differences (P>0.05) between the two reconstruction schemes were found in all assessed categories.

Overall Image Quality Sharpness of Prostatic Capsule Overall Artifact Level
Arterial Phase GRASP 3.07±0.48 3.07±0.51 3.00±0.47
GROG-GRASP 3.05±0.47 3.10±0.52 3.02±0.51
Delayed Phase GRASP 3.55±0.38 3.73±0.34 3.52±0.40
GROG-GRASP 3.52±0.40 3.69±0.40 3.50±0.42

Scoring criteria:

For overall image quality, 4=good, 3=adequate, 2=borderline, 1=non-diagnostic.

For sharpness of prostatic capsule, 4=good, 3=adequate, 2=partially seen, 1=not seen.

For overall artifacts level: 4=none, 3=mild, 2=significant, 1=unreadable
