Impact of scan parameters on apparent scar to blood pool contrast-to-noise ratio. Paired acquisitions at 10, 20 and 30 min post GBCA injection, for control subjects (top left), reduced, single, GBCA dose (top right), half slice thickness (bottom left) and 3 T scanner (bottom right). Scan 1 (standard acquisition, circle) and scan 2 (experimental acquisition, square) are linked for each subject. P-values are for two-way repeated measures ANOVA: at the bottom of each plot is the p-value for variance with time, and to the right is the p-value for variance with acquisition parameter. Unpaired acquisitions are shown as unlinked circle or square and were not included in statistical analyses
