  1. Interobserver variability for standard multi-slice 2D cine SSFP (M2D-SSFP) and single-breath-hold 3D-whole-heart cine SSFP (3D-SSFP) sequences. 95% Confidence intervals for 3D-SSFP + GdT were narrower compared to 3D-SSFP + GdD. ED, end diastolic; ES, end systolic; GdD, Gadopentetate dimeglumine; GdT, Gadofosveset trisodium.
