Myocardium and blood SNR of Cartesian, EPI and spiral in-out bSSFP cine acquisitions using 0.55T. SNR is measured at end-diastole and peak systole in a mid-ventricular short axis slice.

		Cartesian bSSFP	EPI bSSFP	Spiral in-out bSSFP
Myocardium SNR	Diastole	4.9 ± 0.9	7.0 ± 1.5	8.4 ± 2.4
Myocardium SNR	Systole	5.8 ± 1.0	8.5 ± 2.1	10.6 ± 2.3
Blood SNR	Diastole	13.8 ± 3.0	17.3 ± 4.9	22.7 ± 5.7
Blood SNR	Systole	13.9 ± 3.3	18.5 ± 5.2	22.8 ± 5.2
Blood-myocardium CNR	Diastole	8.9 ± 2.2	10.3 ± 3.6	14.3 ± 3.8
Blood-myocardium CNR	Systole	8.0 ± 2.3	10.0 ± 3.4	12.2 ± 3.1
