Impact of Scan Duration and Sampling Trajectory on Arterial tSNR

Protocol Radial Cartesian P-Value
1-shot (2 min 21 s) 22.2±3.6 10.2±3.1 <0.001
2-shot (4 min 42 s) 24.1±3.5 10.4±4.7 <0.001
3-shot (7 min 3 s) 25.0±4.1 13.8±4.1 <0.001
All Protocols 23.8±3.7 11.5±4.2 <0.001

Data are from the imaging volunteer group and are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Data obtained from the common carotid artery.

tSNR = temporal signal-to-noise ratio.
