(A-E) Representative images for the clinical scores. The clinical scoring system was as follows: A. Blood-myocardial contrast (BMC): 1-like SSFP, 2-like turbo GRE, 3-worse than turbo GRE; B. Endocardial edge definition (EDef): 1-excellent, 2-good, 3-poor; C. Inter-slice Alignment (ISA): 1-Excellent alignment, 2- <2 slices misaligned, 3- >2 slices misaligned. BMC score reflects quality of the steady state, and EDef score indicates intra-slice motion blurring. ISA was determined by visualizing the SA stack as a volume. (F) Box plot for clinical scores depicts spread of the scores.
