Legend: RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), RV end-systolic volume (RVESV), RV ejection fraction (RVEF) and RV mass (RVM) are presented as median, min and max for each modality (1.5T SSFP, 7T FGRE with two voxel sizes). The p-values refer to the Kruskal-Wallis test including all three modalities. There was no significant difference regarding RVEDV, RVESV, RVEF and RVM.
