(A-E) Representative images for the clinical scores for different categories and the spread and distribution of the score. The clinical scoring system was as follows: BMC: 1- excellent (distinctly hypo-intense myocardium w.r.t. blood pool), 2-good (noticeable), 3-adequate (discernible); EDef: 1-excellent (sharp), 2-good (definable), 3-poor (blurry); ISA: 1-All slices aligned, 2- <2 slices misaligned, 3- >2 slices misaligned. BMC score reflects quality of the steady state, and EDef score indicates through plane motion blurring. ISA was determined by visualizing the SA stack as a volume. (F) Box plot for clinical scores depicts the spread and distribution of the clinical scores where non-overlapping notches indicate that the medians of the two groups differ at the 5% significance level. O1 – Observer 1; O2 – Observer 2.
