Categories are presented as N (%); SD = Standard deviation; IQR = Interquartile range; RM = respiratory motion; TSM = transient severe respiratory motion; SPPP = standard pre-scan patient preparation; IPPP = intensified pre-scan patient preparation; N/A = not applicable; significant p-values are depicted in bold.
