Flow velocity metrics are in mean ± standard deviation.
Abbreviations: PSV = peak systolic velocity, TSV = time to PSV, PDV = peak diastolic velocity, TDV = time to PDV, max = maximum velocity in vessel ROI, mean = average velocity in vessel ROI, ICC = intra-class correlation coefficients for absolute agreement
18 RCA scans include 7 first scans, 4 intra-scan repeats without repositioning, and 7 inter-scan repeats after repositioning. 20 LAD scans include 8 first scans, 4 intra-scan repeats without repositioning, and 8 inter-scan repeats after repositioning
