LLPV	0.69 ± 0.13	4.17 ± 0.75	0.74 ± 0.17	3.27 ± 0.64	0.23	<0.001
MPA	0.76 ± 0.09	4.57 ± 0.57	0.77 ± 0.15	3.60 ± 0.62	0.79	<0.001
AAo	0.68 ± 0.14	4.66 ± 0.55	0.73 ± 0.18	3.77 ± 0.57	0.31	<0.001
VS	0.44 ± 0.13	4.21 ± 0.92	0.43 ± 0.13	3.42 ± 0.79	0.92	<0.001
Scan time (min)	9.57 ± 5.47		3.62 ± 1.86		<0.001

Values are mean ± standard deviation. Sharpness measure: 0 (blurred) to infinity (sharp). Image quality score: 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). AAo, ascending aorta; LLPV, lower pulmonary vein; MPA, main pulmonary artery; VS, ventricular septum.
